The CGI runs in a separate process, with special permissions.
How is this accomplished? By suEXEC?
You could also setup asterisk to save the vm files as another user. Michael
This would be the best option IMHO. What is required to do this?
Regardless of whether I use vmail.cgi or a php, using chown or chmod on the voicemail directory only temporarily solves the permissions problem. Any new voicemails that are saved to the system are saved under my * userid (root in my current environment).
FYI - the original problems I was having with vmail.cgi is now resolved. The script was not properly handling voicemail contexts (aside from 'default'). The changes I made to get it working are posted here:

This, or any other php interface to VM, would be greatly appreciated!
Ain't gonna work unless your Apache server runs as root or as the same user Asterisk runs as. This is due to the fact that PHP runs within the same process as Apache, and Unix/Linux prevents privilege escalation, for security reasons. The CGI runs in a separate process, with special permissions.
