Check also /usr/tmp which should be world readable, writable, and searchable.
There is another problem if you use the /usr/man/cat* directories, it will be
possible that man created empty translated files every time you used it.
I.e. "man ls" could produce a file /usr/man/cat1/ls.1 with size 0. In that
case, even after having fixed protection mode directory problems, if you use
"man ls" again, it will do a "cat /usr/man/cat1/ls.1" which will give nothing
on the screen. As a consequence, you could need to delete all empty files in
your /*/cat* directories before being able to use man again.
