So the command was "chmod incoming +xrw" exactly??
Possibly (and I'm nowhere near a *nix machine to check for sure) this sets
permissions for the owner of the file only;
"chmod incoming a+xrw" (to set for all users) would work a little better. This is
only a guess; it's quite likely I'm way off base.
Hope this is of some help to you though..
