flash media server file ownership issue

[project3]

I have flash media server installed and working. I have created
virtual hosts to give users access. After creating the virtual host
it works fine. But since I want to be able to let users have access
to those files in their applications folder i have cpanel creating the
accounts.

The problem comes with the fact that the applications folder has to have
root:root ownership. Well for users to have access through cpanel or ftp
the ownership needs to be username:username is there a solution to
make this happen. I don't see a way to fix this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
