Sounds like an ownership problem. My experience: if the server admin
originally uploads a file, the file is owned by the server admin
userName. The site admin userName cannot overwrite, edit, or chmod that
file unless the owner gave broader permissions than the default.
However, the site admin userName can delete the file. Check your file
ownership, hopefully that's where your problem is.
