I did a test and the files ended up with these permissions when muse was 
executed as user 'ddskrjo' and suid bit set.

-rw-r--r--   1 ddskrjo root       12474 Apr 26 21:57 lala.med

I was not able to get it 'owned' by root at this time so I'll back down until 
I can prove it ;)... as for it belonging to group root...that might be okay?
