I've no idea about dada...but perhaps it is a permissions problem?

Well, it means that apache/dada needs to be able to write to these
directories, for whatever reason.

The permissions are:
drwxr-sr-x   2 jmilton  hamilton    512 Apr  6  2004 styles

According to ps aux | grep http, apache runs as the www user.

According to /etc/group, the www user is in the hamilton group.

So, I suggest that you chown g+w each file/dir that apache complains
about. I'm not sure whether you have permission enough to do this, if
not, send an email for any more you encounter and a sudoer will do it.
As a start, I've done /home/www/dadaIMC/hamilton
and /home/www/dadaIMC/hamilton/styles.
