Below command worked for me:

sudo chown -R `id -u` /data/db

Same as "Joe Frambach's" but a little friendlier to cut and paste right away.

sudo chown -R $(whoami) /data/db

systemctl kicks in because the init-script for mongod sources this file like most others:

. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

The block with chkconfig comments is used to define the config and pid-file:

# config: /etc/my-mongod.conf
# pidfile: /var/run/mongo/mongo.pid

But that pifile's path should match up with whatever you have in config's dbpath. So this in /etc/my-mongod.conf

dbpath = /home/mongodb/2.0.5/data

Matches with this comment in /etc/init.d/mongod

# pidfile: /home/mongodb/2.0.5/data/mongod.lock

sudo chown -R <your-username> /data/db

Which user runs mongod? Are you running it with your regular login?
