Ok, I think I figured it out.

In most cases, 0777 is required in order to allow for file editing, moving or writing. So when an attachment is uploaded, they need 0777 permission on a folder to move it into it.

0777 is required becaues PHP is being run as nobody in these cases where the folder owner is your username.

The way that PHPsuexec is that PHP runs as your username. This means that the operating system sees that you own the file or folder and allows you write with 755 permissions.

So as far as I can see, it *should* work fine.
