re: the comment about the CGI user not having permissions

I ran into this problem executing a move on a file that was uploaded via CGI. I was running apache and the file was being moved by user Apache. So I put Apache in my group and gave 775 permission to the directory. I don't know how good of a thing that is to do, but it did fix my problem.

Additionally, when this happened to me, the system call didn't gen any error,but of course I didn't have fatals to Browser turned on. Have it upload to a 777 directory and see who owns the file, ala ls -l.
