I had a variation of this problem, as the forum grew the script made new files in the format:
sitemap_4.xml.gz
sitemap_5.xml.gz
sitemap_6.xml.gz

but as it generated new ones, the permissions were incorrect and errors appeared. The only solution I came up with was to make a whole load of dummy 0 byte files in the format:

sitemap_4.xml.gz
sitemap_5.xml.gz
sitemap_6.xml.gz
sitemap_7.xml.gz
sitemap_8.xml.gz
sitemap_9.xml.gz

and set them to 666, so in the future when the script started to generate and overwrite those files the permissions were correct and the errors didn't occur.
