thanks for your response.  the permissions were set by the
system in running the cgi script -- i don't understand the
reasoning.  the "non writable"  problem has been solved,
however -- the path had changed from my previous running of
the script.

now the problem seems to be that the local version sees
taint problems not seen by the remote system -- strange, but
i'll work on that before i trouble anyone.

thanks,
dan
