Plus, everything is readable and the parent directory has the +x for everyone on it.
can you post your full config(s)? so that we can see if it says anything in there about dropping privileges
Also, you could be running into a SELinux or AppArmor (depending on your distro) permission, not just a traditional filesystem permission. What distro is this on?
