I don't know why it has given different permissions to some of the
directories.  The source code always uses the configuration file
directory permission option (you can search for 'mkdir' in the code to
see).

The 'lastout' directory gets renamed to 'prevout1' and all of the
others get moved down one as well when you go online.  This might
explain why lastout, prevout1 and prevout2 are the same.  I can't
explain why they are different to the others though.

If it is a bug then I don't know how to fix it.
