Good day to you all,

Sorry for the delay for I was on holiday.

I just think the backup script is not at all accurate in translating os errors. So the
script just tries to read the file while it has no group permissions.

That's what I've been trying to say.

https

Linux - CentOS x64, 2.6 kernel
Hg version 2.2.1

Apache is running as apache:apache

I just did almost that, except I wrote wsgi script and ran it, and received
umask=002 as response.. is that sufficient as confirmation?

Best regards,
