Its tough to specify exactly without your code, but from the error, it seems you are trying to set a lookup field that is expecting and Account ID with a user ID.

The 3 digit prefix for the account object is '001', you are trying to set a value that is expecting an account Id with a User Id. You can tell this because the 3 digit prefix for the user object is '005'.

    However, given the name of this trigger, it may be more simply accomplished in a validation rule similar to what is discussed in this thread: salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/77802/…

  • +1 @Todd, you are right, it may be we don't need the trigger at all. (Again tough to say without seeing code) I was just trying to shed some light on the error that was being received.
