New Permissions Errors w/ RT 3.4.0

I have been running RT 3.4.0 under RHEL3.0 for some time now without
problems.

Something has changed in the environment that is causing umask or
permissions problems w/ Mason.

E.g.

Trying to request /rt/Admin/Queues/index.html:

Results in:

error: Couldn’t create object file
/opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj/standard/Admin/Queues/index.html: Permission
denied
context:

313: {
314: if ($tries++ == 3) {
315: $self->_compilation_error( $source->friendly_name, “Could not
load or recreate object file after 3 tries” );
316: }
317: if ($objfilemod < $srcmod) {
318: $self->compiler->compile_to_file( file => $objfile, source =>
$source);
319: }
320: $comp = eval { $self->eval_object_code( object_file => $objfile
) };
321:

code stack: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTML/Mason/Interp.pm:317
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTML/Mason/Request.pm:198

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTML/Mason/ApacheHandler.pm:824
/opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl:132
-e:0

Here are the permissions on the Queues directory:
d--------- 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 6 12:12 Queues

If I fix the permissins (755) then things proceed, but as soon as
Mason has to compile and create a new file the problem recurs.

Suggestions? This was working fine not that long ago, but something
has obviously changed.
