Hi, (brief notes from tablet...)
in my experience as a www admin, writing files is often problematic because they may (depending on the setup/environment ) have a different owning user than the user who actually admins the content. I have had systems where i had no root and the www user writes cache files and such, and my account could not delete them. That said, i don't think that would be a problem for cgi fossil, and certainly not when running it in server mode under your own account.
