I'm not sure what the scripts uid/gid will tell you. What you need is 
the gid of the process and the uid/gid (among other file 
setttings/permissions) of the file in question. IMHO you cannot use 
getmyuid() for this task (at leat not in Unix).

On Unix the posix-Extension has all you need (posix_getuid and friends). 
I don't know if it is available on Windows.
