[support] Moving files directory?

[Roy Smith]

It turns out, the problem was not that the path changed, but that the  
permissions were wrong.  Setting the permission on ~/sitename/files/  
to 0777 (i.e. world-writable) made the warning go away.  On the other  
hand, it doesn't seem right that a directory should have to be left  
wide open like that.  Is that really how it's supposed to be?
