Thank you, Dr. Di Pierro! I did reboot, then run Disk Utility, which is now so user friendly I couldn't see what it found. Didn't solve the problem. I will indeed use chown. Just wanted to make sure there was no change of permissions in web2py that I needed to know about. Thought maybe there was some kind of security upgrade or something that using chown might break something else down the line.
