Chad, Are you restarting apache after each change? It sounds like you have the default 2 workers and you are getting two different 'versions' alternately. Apache needs to be restarted if you change something (or there's some magic touch you can do with wsgi that I forget).
Otherwise it does look like permissions, or running in the wrong directory, or such like.
