No...dammit, I remember now.  Zonealarm is creating the files with
read-write access only for root and it's own internal account
(www-data), read-only to the user account (camera).

The only way to run this cron job as user "camera" would be to turn
that user into "God".

I'd rather get the root-level cron job thing working.
