Bug Description
On the server our Mahara installation is hosted on, the Mahara administrator (which is me) does not have server admin rights. So I tried to change the directorypermis
I did not succeed, so I investigated further. In uploadmanager.php the chmod command uses the constant value 0700 for the permissions instead of the config value directorypermis
In my environment I need to change those default setting 0700, because I'm not the server admin and backups are needed with every version update. I changed the source code of Mahara as a quick&dirty workaround, but in further versions this problem could be avoided.
Mahara 1.3.6, OS Linux, Database MySQL, Firefox 3.6.14

As Mahara 1.4RC is already available, I checked that version, too. It has the same command in uploadmanager.php and thus should have the same problem there.
