Yeah, I know I need to do a better job of explining everything I did to check the problem: I already had done that and yes, permissions are set properly (and recursively) for all the directories under var.
When I installed 3.4, I told it to use 'Plain' as the type of website. I then went on to rename the site in a manner consistent with the Scandinavian Checkmates tutorial, however, I have noticed that there is a 'plain' directory under var along with my 'sitename' directory. Is this normal? Could it be causing the problem?

Not really. This new var file is created by your ez installation itself, thus it has write permissions for the new siteinterface within ./var. This is essential to create and delete all the cache- and content files you uploaded by using the new siteaccess.

If these site permissions within the ./var directory were deleted, might that be causing the problem I'm talking about? I believe that I might have deleted the entire var directory at one point in the belief that it was all compiled content and would be regenerated. Maybe I was deadly wrong. I know for sure that this is where uploaded images are stored so I know better now than to go messing around inside of it but if I deleted the var directory- would I have caused the sorts of problems I am having now?
What I do know is this- on my test Windows development environment Clicking the Clear All Caches button will not reset the templates that are included by other templates via {include uri} statements- I have to delete my var/sitename/cache/template directory by hand. Content changes are updated automatically, however, as well as templates that serve as the root display- such as full view templates.
On my remote hosted Linux environment nothing, NOTHING gets updated until I delete the var/cache directory. Even if I add new content or change existing content, it won't show up.
I've gone through all my ini settings but I can't figure out what may be causing this problem.

Okay, the problem was this- the permissions were set properly, but the ownership was not set properly. I had to get my hosting service to make Apache the owner of that folder and it worked. I also had the VarDir variable set to var/plain instead of var/sitename in my admin/site.ini file
