Chmod errors

I am on a hsphere server and I get this kind of error all the time. To bypass this problem with the auto update, I had to delete all the system generated folders then manually create them and chmod to 777.

The problem below is similar. . . to fix this I had to first delete the category dir, then manually create it, chmod 777 - re-upload the image and get the message below, then I had to delete the 8 dir, manually create it, chmod 777, then it worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tony
