Problems arise...
in /public_html/
Could not change permissions for 
fish://kdewebdev@kdewebdev.org/home/kdewebdev/public_html/docs/common/xml.dcl.
It seems you did not verify this was group writable. These types of errors 
have made it more challenging to fix.

Some directories like developer/public_html/ I only made the public_html/ 
directory g+w -R. I didn't see a need to add content below server root. Is 
this creating a real problem for you? If so I can change it.

I've checked through the rest of the site. Primarily this was not an issue if 
I was uploading but regardless I think I have about all of it corrected, 
except for /public_html/css which I'm very reluctant to make group writable. 
Changes can be submitted to CVS but a new site developer could blindly change 
CSS and upload it and break every page on the site. Because of the grief we 
went through arriving at a visual layout that works I'm not inclined to open 
any change capability here that hasn't been fully reviewed.
