>From what I can tell, these need to be 777:

typo3temp
typo3temp/pics
typo3temp/temp
typo3temp/llxml
typo3temp/cs
typo3temp/GB
typo3conf
typo3conf/ext
typo3conf/l10n
uploads
uploads/pics
uploads/media
uploads/tf
fileadmin
fileadmin/_temp_
typo3/ext

And this needs to be 666 during install, and probably 644 after install:

typo3conf/localconf.php

But that's on our server where directories default to 755 and files default 
to 644. Your server either has some sort of security ideas going on, or is 
using a permission-modifying system such as suphp or suexec (in which case I 
don't know what values you'll need).
