The distcache directory is created within the build each time before the 
cache is mounted.  So this becomes a mountpoint.  Does your _host_ 
distcache directory have 0775 perms?  If so, I imagine the perms should 
be inherited and not require you to do a chmod while the Build is running.

I hesitate to change something within TB to accommodate this, so I hope 
changing the host perms will help.
