Also check the permission of the entire path.
For example, what about the permission of /media/d4ae05a3-c60f-489d-8159-e16c9a271f0b?

Try this,as root:

cd /
su apache
cd /media
cd d4ae05a3-c60f-489d-8159-e16c9a271f0b
cd repos
cd centos
cd 5.5
ls -l

Maybe one of this steps fails when you are user apache.
