OK, I can see that that would fix the problem. I initially presumed
that running it as root would produce a directory that was owner/group
root. On a slightly different note, upgrading pdbv on another box
comes up with the slightly different permissions problem that the
directory /var/www/pdbv is already owner/group root so user nobody has
no rights to change the files.

When I go to run pdbv as root I get a message:

"Running pdbv as root jeopardizes your system security, you should not
do that."

As I do not want my system security to be jeopardized there is no way
I'm going to want to run this as root even once is there?
