Hi ics, I've tested your suggestion of keeping the replay files on the same partition, but as expected I got the same result. The files are created with the UID and primary GID of the user running srcds, ignoring any default ACL or setgid bit, making it so that the apache webserver is never allowed to read the files and allow them to be downloaded, only list the contents of the directory since the permissions on that are correct.
