A rough guess:

It looks like the Typo3 sources are owned by uid 842 (probably your ftp- or 
shell-account). Typo3 manages to create the first extension directory 
(automaketemplate) which is naturally owned by your webserver uid (2420). 
Then it tries to create the pi1 directory which fails because safe_mode 
checks whether the data a PHP script is trying to access (i.e. the 
automaketemplate-directory) is owned by the same uid which owns the script 
itself. Since the Typo3 source is uid 842 and the newly created directory 
is uid 2420, this check fails and access is denied.

Without having thought too long about it, I guess if you don't have root 
access to that server, a solution for this problem will be difficult (if 
possible at all). A manual installation might be a workaround, but someone 
else would have to post about how to do that. I'm not that much into 
extension management :)
