It is correct to assume that is probably WRONG <G>
Unless the server is running as you, and usually it's not, the defs directory _really_ needs to be either:
1) world writable 777
or
2) owned by the server, usually "nobody nobody"
Since that takes super user powers, the alternative is to create a dummy def file in the defs directory, set it to 777 and install the plugin. If that doesn't work, you'll have to set the defs directory to 777 and let the server write the def file itself. You can set it back to 755 after that.
Once a file exists, and is "writeable" usually the installer code will just overwrite it without a problem.
