Extension downloaded but not showing

I downloaded the new CSV import tool extension from https://civicrm.org/extensions/api-csv-import-gui/11

I used the following directions:

Manual installation of native extensions
If you want to install a native CiviCRM extension which is not listed under Manage Extensions automatically:
    Download the extension package from the download URL provided by the developer
    Unzip / untar the package and place it in your configured extensions directory
    If the package has been constructed properly - when you reload the Manage Extensions page the new extension should be listed with an Install link.

But when I go to the extensions page it is not listed. I've tried renaming the folder from nz.co.fuzion.csvimport-1.1 to csvimport. That didn't help. I've refreshed numerous times.

Other  people seem to have successfully installed this extension from Eileen McNaughton. Stoob commented on it at https://civicrm.org/blogs/stoob/csv-api-import and got it working.

I downloaded an extension from the approved list just to make sure it was working, and it did show up in the list and in my extensions directory (/var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/contrib/civicrm/custom_ext/csvimport).

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

It was a permissions problem. I had to give www-data permission to read-write.
