Why the heck would it want the folder set to 666? Directories should normally be set to 755, or 711. It should be 777 for read/write/execute for everyone. This is technically bad for security, but very common for poorly written programs, or lax systems.

It might very well just be a bad error message. If this file is in the 'msg' folder, I'd first set the msg folder to 755, then chmod the file you are trying to edit. Again, a folder chmodded 666 makes absolutely no sense.
