Hi, I would happily help you, but current version of take isn't very newbie friendly, nor descriptive and alternative I made is having some "vulnerabilities", so I have no idea how to find out why it doesn't work (I guess Coren didn't implement --verbose, neither -v[vvvvvvvv]).
Anyway if you tell me which folder you need to set to which permissions I can do that. Just keep in mind that folders in /data/project should have g+s permission in order to keep the group. If you had a tar of that software it changed the permissions to original which it had when it was created.
