Yes, this was the error.  They turned off safe mode and now it is working.

Note: there was a specific note about safe mode causing problems with 
mkdir, but they specified it would also cause the chmod function not to 
work, and that it only occured if the directory owner differs from the 
directory creator.

Since I checked all those first, and chmod would work, I assumed it was 
somewhere else.

Thanks!
