I don't understand your instructions:

> $ su
> # mkdir status_dir
> # cd status_dir
> # > status
> # chown david:group status
Ok.
> # chmod o-rwx status
You are removing the read permission.  The entire problem is that the file does
not have read permission for anyone but me
> # cd ..
> # chmod -R 0770 status_dir
That will set the status file to 770 as well, and is again not helpful. Apache
needs to be able to read the file, which it can't do unless the permissions
include reading for Other.
Assuming you mean 775...
"An error occurred when uploading your presence page"
because now Kopete can't write to the directory which is owned by root.

What do you mean "Any user cannot create/delete files in this directory."? Not
only is that not the case, but I wouldn't want it to be!
When you say that "For the test above plugin works" are you sure it is writing
to the location that you are creating above?
If I change the ownership of the dir back to me, then as usual Kopete can write
to it, and in doing so unsets the permission on the file back to 600.
