A few points to note. Apache processes run as a special user and may not have ability to read/write to the required directory. The current working directory of an Apache process is NOT the directory of the script file and you therefore cannot use relative paths but must use absolute paths. Apache/mod_wsgi can run in a multi process and/or multi thread configuration and distinct processes/threads may be interfering with each other. Have a read of: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ApplicationIssues for more detail on these sorts of issues.
