Ok, Heres a thought.

try forcing an error after opening the file.
See what the traceback says. You can add a message 
string to an exception so that it will print...

class LogError(Exception): pass

raise LogError, "Any old text here"

So you force the cgitb to kick in and print the mesage you 
specify, use it like a print statement to debug whats happening...

Its a bit laborious but better than nothing!

See if that helps
