I knew who you were when you were on the shell... your ps output showed the grep process was running as root. But as the others mentioned... you're running the above script as root. As soon as you go to run via the webserver things change. In fact, if you run the above as root, and create any directories, then those will inherit the root ownerships. Then if you run the same script via the web server, those new directories may be causing you issues since they trunp the webserver's permissions. You might want to go do some reading about *nix ownerships and permissions. It's quite important that you have a thorough understanding of those if you're going to administer the server.
