does the Unix account fall in the dba group. In that case you could use the group permissions. Or alternatively make sure the setuid bit of the file is on: will make sure the file is uses Oracle permissions always, regardless of owner.
On the Oracle side, lasciate fare ogni speranza, voi che entrate. Oracle is a dbms, it doesn't know anything about file permissions.

Hth,
