e-commerce – permission error

    I have version 3.7.8 of wp-e-Commerce.

    I recently moved my site from one server to another one and I now have a problem writing to the e-commerce directories. The directories are the following

    /wpsc/downloadables/
    /wpsc/previews/
    /wpsc/product_images/
    /wpcs/product_images/thumbnails/
    /wpsc/category_images/
    /wpsc/upgrades/

    These directories are located in the folder /wp-content/uploads/. I can write to the rest of the site and I can update the other uploaded images in this directory.

    I set up my site so that the permission access is controlled by the group. In order to get the permission right I needed to change the group permission to www-data which I have been told is the user name of wordpress. This has allowed me to update the plug-ins and edit my site. it works well throughout my site except WP-E-Commerce.

    I first thought maybe if there were a unique group name for WP-E-Commerce then I could just reassign the WP-E-Commerce group name to these folder.

    Before I go further, I did double checked to see if changing the permission level temporarily for these folders to 777 would help. When I change the permission level to 777 for these folder they DO NOT become writable. So I am kind of stumped.

    Any ideas why I cannot write to these folders?

    How can I fix this?
