Many filesystem-related functions are not appropriately restricted when Safe Mode is activated on an NT server it seems. I would assume that this is due to the filesystem not making use of UID.
In all of my scripts, no matter WHO owns the script (file Ownership-wise) or WHO owns the directory/file in question; both UIDs display
(getmyuid() and fileowner()) as UID = 0
This has the rather nasty side effect of Safe Mode allowing multiple filesystem operations because it believes the script owner and file/dir owner are one and the same.
While this can be worked around by the judicious application of proper filesystem privileges, it's still a "dud" that many of Safe Mode's securities are simply not there with an NT implementation.
