Glad you posted on that, I re-read his post two or three times trying to figure out why on earth he was saying to change the permissions like that. There is no reason whatsoever to do it if all you're wanting to do is resume your screen session as the user who started it in the first place... so OP, _don't_ change the perms on pts, you'll be able to 'screen -r' just fine, believe me.
