  According the techs at hostmonster (this is a _shared_ hosting),
  all site roots *must* be 755.

  I also escalated my question to their upper-level techs with
  Ernie's statement above quoted, but have yet to get a reply.

  It seems that what drush is doing is simply setting the same
  permissions as the source site. I.E. when I push content from my
  workstation where permissions are 750, then drush sets the target
  as 750, but when I changed the permissions on the workstation to
  755, drush obliging left them at 755 on the remote hostmonster
  server.

  I think my brain is going to explode.... after 17 years of web
  programming and 12 on *nix systems, I still feel like a flipping
  noob...
