Well, I can run the file fine (no errors) from the command line, so I know
there's no errors. I only get the attempted write to ex.err when trying it
via the browser (running it as an Apache CGI).

That's a '7' isn't it, as in chmod 775?

That's what I was doing when running this stuff at my host. I'll try it with
my box at home as well... I just thought there was a way to keep my system
"clean" and not have to do that.

Thanks, Rob.
