Oh Mitchell, You have to set s-bit permission should be 6755 --something like that.When user updates a record he is ultimately writing to datafiles.At that time he should assume as file-owner.That means only thru sqlplus or thru some other application only he can write to the file,Neither he can remove nor he van directly write to the file.The solution is simply s-bit.Somr time back there was a discussion on s-bit by check hamilton.Otherwise take his advice..
