every process that is running the web2py app should have permissions to read and write into the web2py folder. if a sessions folder isn't found when the first request hits the app, web2py creates it, but it does so under the current security environment... Whoever is changing the permissions is not web2py itself: it doesn't make anything about changing users/permissions....
how are you running web2py ?
