 * I tried to create the directories manually that is asked for (using the shell),
   and when the publish process is repeated, it causes permission-denied errors 
   instead, even though the dirs are have drwxrwxr-x permissions.
 * help!!!

 * What plugin are you talking about? WP doesn’t make albums by itself.

 * I’m talking about the WordPress photoblog tool (not plugin) called Pictorialis.
   I guess not too many people know about it. Anyway, I figured out the problem.
   To anyone using Pictorialis, the readme.html’s installantion instructions are
   not thorough. You must also read the readme.txt file which contains a couple 
   simple steps for creating and chmodding the directories.
