Bingo That is it. I was looking at the source and was wondering why was /proc pointing to blank brackets. I added it and now it is point to the directory. It looks like it is a Variable (which is probably called a key) and then you add the value of that variable. I guess like the Windows Registry. Looking at the documentation it started to make sense. Clear as mud now. ;-)

Try putting / in the New Key box, and click Add. Then put /proc in the box next to the Insert Delete buttons, and click Save. Then look at the config file again, and see if it has worked.
