ACK. I read over that. But I think that combining the sgid creation of
directories and changing 0700 to 2770 for the mkdir calls, and 0700 to
0700 for the call to ast_writefile should get you where you want to be.
I haven't tested it, it just _looks_ that way. (assumption is the mother
of all fuckups)
