Brian,
Try changing ownership of the script to whatever that username folder is.
For example, if the directory is /users/jsmith/web, change the ownership of
the script to jsmith.
If the script does some kind of output, like writing to a file (message
board, for example); that could be where the problem is coming in. Chmod the
directory to 777 and/or look inside the script for what ownership the file
writes with. It might be writing with username 'nobody'; changing it to
jsmith might work.

Just guessing.
