Michael's advice on how to set the file permissions are exactly right.

The SP1 release fixes this bug, which I have posted about on the
Allaire forums.
Please see the SP1 release notes here:
http://www.allaire.com/handlers/index.cfm?id=17509
>From the notes:
On Unix, the ColdFusion RDS service now creates files with file
permissions of 644 (owner read/write, group and other read). It will no
longer turn on the write permissions when saving an existing file. In
addition, you can set the environment variable CFRDS_CREATION_MODE in
the ColdFusion start script to the (octal) file permissions you would
like new files to have when created via RDS. See the chmod(1) man page
for details on how to specify octal permission modes. When adding
CFRDS_CREATION_MODE to the start script, don't forget to add this
variable to the VAR_LIST variable. [18136]
