[rt-users] mason_data dir contents owned by root

[Chris Hall]

chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/rt4/var/mason_data/*

I know it's more of a "patch" than a "fix", but.. this is how I'm handling
this problem on my end (yea, I ran into it too), and unless I manually
remove the mason_data info, it seems to solve my problems.  That's just how
I've solved it.. I'm sure there's better ways probably.
