   I'm running pppd version 2.3 patch level 5 on FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE
and the scripts are correctly executed. The permissions are:

root> ll /etc/ppp/ip-*
-rwx------  1 root  wheel  401 13 Ago 04:42 /etc/ppp/ip-down
-rwx------  1 root  wheel  174 14 Ago 01:44 /etc/ppp/ip-up

   The scripts are:

root> cat /etc/ppp/ip-up 
#!/bin/sh

# get the hostname assigned to this host by remote system
HOSTNAME=`host $4 | cut -d" " -f5`
echo -n $HOSTNAME > /var/run/hostname && chmod 644 /var/run/hostname


root> cat /etc/ppp/ip-down 
#!/bin/sh
# This script removes files containing information about closed ppp
# link

if [ -f /var/run/hostname ]; then
    rm /var/run/hostname
fi

if [ -f /var/run/smtpserver ]; then
    rm /var/run/smtpserver
fi

# use only local nameserver (i.e. delete ISP DNS)
HOSTNAME=`hostname -s`
echo "domain `hostname | sed s/$HOSTNAME\.//`" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf

   I start pppd as root from a script:

#!/bin/sh

[snip] [lot of secrets here :-)]

pppd /dev/cuaa0 115200 connect "chat -f $CHAT_SCRIPT" user $USERNAME

   What are you trying to do in the ip-{down,up} scripts? Maybe the
scripts are executed but they do not run as expected because there's an
error in the scripts?.
