Thanks for the bug report.

I've verified this and should have a fix by the end of the day.  Turns 
out that fchmod() and fchown() must be called prior to bind() on a 
socket.  A little code-shuffling should fix the problem.  I plan on 
moving the fchmod() and fchown() related code into ud_create_socket() 
and adding perm and group args.

Note that the -g option is also broken because of this.

Ted.
