On my Debian 4.0 x86_64 server, the tests all report as passed, but the 
automated build system (not the test suite) is unable to remove the 
directories due to the permissions issue.

No, only as root.

Yes, that's what I'm doing now. Actually I'm running chmod -R +rw, just 
in case, but doesn't stop the build system bombing out. :(

And that's the issue, really. The automated build system is attempting 
to blow away the whole directory after completing a build.
