[mythtv-users] Permissions on uploaded movie posters via mythweb

I'm having problems with the file permissions set on movie posters uploaded
via mythweb.

I've set the folder for my posters to be owned by www-data (apache user)
with group as mythtv (sticky bit on).
If I use the option that runs the IMDB script which automatically grabs the
data and poster, then the image has the correct permissions (i.e. both
mythweb and mythfrontend can read the file)...
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data mythtv

For some movies a poster isn't found so I use the upload image feature in
mythweb. However the permission are then set incorrectly (i.e. mythfrontend
can't read the file)...
-rw------- 1 www-data www-data

Does the IMDB script download the file straight to the posters folder, where
as the uploader sticks it in a temp folder and then moves it afterwards,
thus causing the different permissions?

How do I get around this problem?

Thanks,
Ash
