Check php.ini to see if safe mode is off, which it needs to be to use Drush.
vi /etc/php.ini

Look for:
;
; Safe Mode
;
safe_mode = Off
If it's On... change it to Off which in vi would be `esc` key, `a` key for append, delete On with the delete key... and change off... hit `esc` key then `:` then type wq! and `enter` to save (write, quit.)
vi /etc/php.ini


/etc/init.d/httpd restart graceful

You should be able to use Drush now!
