Bingo:

So it does indeed call ``fossil http'' which will cause fossil to chroot
and drop privileges depending on the owner of the file.

I see  from your email that  the permissions on /tmp/ftmp  are 755 which
means only root will be able to create/modify files in that directory:

root@main:/tmp/ftmp# ls -ld * .
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel      512 May 29 15:33 .
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3435520 May 29 15:33 f_f
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3592192 May 29 15:33 r_w
