Definately check the umask and uid/gid/eid. Log in as that user and
try to create it. Most likely the server is running as "nobody" or
as another user and simply doesn't have access to it.
Run a ps -aux (on Linux - for other OS's your milage may vary) and
see who that server is running as. Make sure that the scripts executed
by process (x) aren't running as yet ANOTHER persona. I know of a
few programs which'll run as "nobody" and then run as "personX" for
all "userspace scripts." That particular case is redundant, yes - many
programs that run as root will employ this to help quarantine userscripts
for security reasons though.
