Looks like SELinux was hosing me. If anybody else runs into this error down the road, go to the SELinux Administration applet (Applications -> System Tools -> SELinux Management) and set the enforcing mode appropriately. Looks like Drupal only needs this file to be writable for a short time anyway, so I think you can return enforcing mode to Enforcing as soon as you're done with your Drupal configuration. -- Dave
