The host did and said they were okay.
What specific file should I recheck the permissions on and what should they be set for? I did looked at this file: /usr/www/users/rbavasi/evertrustfoundation/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php
it was set for 755
check the permissions on the wp-content folder. I would use something like filezilla to check them my self. Hosts are very lazy when it comes to this sort of tech support

yeah, they were set at 755, tried 775 and 777, still same error
check all your root files (wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes). Looks like a file permission on wp-admin from the error you posted.
Also check the parent folder
Check the file OWNERSHIP.
I know when a lot of people use DreamPress’s cPanel import, sometimes it gets dumb and uses the OLD host’s user IDs and groups, and not the new ones.
To check, log in via SSH as the user (in this case ptbarnum) and type ls -la
You’ll get something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ptbarnum webusers 380 May 5 2010 .htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 ptbarnum webusers 395 Aug 21 18:36 index.php
Then as the user type `touch test.txt’
Run ls -la again and make sure that test ALSO has ptbarum.
An example of a broken one might be this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ptbarnum circusly 380 May 5 2010 .htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 ptbarnum circusly 395 Aug 21 18:36 index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 ptbarnum webusers 395 Aug 27 09:10 test.txt
See how the older files have circusly as the group? That’s wrong, so you’d want to change that:
chown -R ptbarnum:webusers *

If this was moved on the same host, could this still be an issue?
