      Would there be a problem changing the directory mode in (atleast) 770 ?

  Well, there is a SAVE_MODE value in config.h, set to 660, which is probably 
why you see the filemodes show up that way.

  There should probably be something like a SAVE_MODE_DIR or whatever to set 
what hte directory permissions should be.  Having it hardcode to 777 is pretty 
horendous.

  I'd tend to guess that most of the save modes are back from the day when the 
server was the client, so you might get multiple users running it at the same 
time (or different users running it).  That certainly isn't the case anymore.
