I've raised a support ticket with Sourceforge but heaven knows how long that'll take to turn around, so could an admin confirm that they can create/delete files? If not obviously there is a larger problem, but if you can could you perhaps revoke and then reapply my account's permissions to this area  (I am 'diem')? I've a bugfix OS X release to publish and this administrative annoyance is preventing that happening.
