Got it but the solution is derned freaky... talking to the webserver admin I come to find out that I have to write a stub executable to php4.cgi which will interpret the PHP script bypassing the Apache mods.. that way I can keep the directories at the default 0755 and STILL be able to do file mkdir and uploading!!
