Dave,
Did you check if a link exists in ~/.config/geany/geany_socket.something and delete it if it exists (Important: when _all_ Geanys are closed)?
That link points to the socket in /run/user/etc etc, so if it is deleted a new socket will be created with your user ownership.

A note to everybody:
The error message from Geany was for a socket in /run/user etc etc NOT .run/user.
