in reply to FileCache permission probs from Apache

Have you tried making apache the owner of the file in question?

Otherwise, it can never actually do certain file operations in a directory which has the sitcky bit set (the last t in the mode)

Update: Also I would change the mode to something a bit less dangerous.

#WARNING: non perl code follows!
chown apache /tmp/FileCache
chmod 700 /tmp/FileCache
#End of non perl code

More update: corrected file mode as noticed by sgifford that the FileCache is a directory not a file

    I've never used FileCache, but from the OP's question it looks like it's a directory. If it is, you almost certainly want mode 0700, not 0600. Only giving read and write, but not execute, makes it impossible to use anything in that directory: 
    $ mkdir t100
$ chmod 600 t100
$ ls -ld t100

$ cd t100
bash: cd: t100: Permission denied
echo 'hi' >t100/test
bash: t100/test: Permission denied
$ cat t100/test
cat: t100/test: Permission denied
