Django App needs write permission to Static App

I am running the photologue django app, it creates thumbnails of images on the fly and needs to write to the static media server. I have a Symbolic link to static-only app as my static media server - as per webfaction documentation. How do I grant the Django app write access to the static app?

I am assuming this is the problem, the exact error is: Caught OSError while rendering: [Errno 13] Permission denied: /<homedir>

Thanks,

Andrew
