Looks like an artifact of the way that the Moin export tool works. I
added two lines to the dump script, before the exported wiki content
gets tarred up:
  find $export_dir/roswiki/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
  find $export_dir/roswiki/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
That ought to remove the need to chmod it at your end.

The new weekly export (with this change) is running now; should be
ready in a couple of hours.
