When you upload the modules and such to joomla, it does that because php is running as nobody (I think it's something like that), so any files it creates are owned by the user running it (nobody).. Servers with phpsuexec eliminate this, as php runs as your user, so any files it creates are owned by you.. I believe you could request to either be moved to a server that has phpsuxec, or request that it be installed on your server.

Of course, if it is already installed.. then something must be wrong...
