ok looking into the current makefile in /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build  there 
is look sto use  a variable KBUILD_EXTMOD instead of the SUBDIRS  which does 
go to use /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build  istead of source tree  however the 
problem remains you need write access in /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build hence 
needing root privledges  or to change permissions on that part of the tree

new output as user

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build  modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build'
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
touch: cannot touch `include/config/MARKER': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [include/config/MARKER] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.339/build'
make: *** [default] Error 2
