Hi,

Well, I think the first time I launched project is under user "boincadm".
Because I noticed this issue before. I want to make a test today, so I'm
carefully on this.

Well, under user "root", the project works well, and those machines are in a
internal network, so I think launch project as root is also accept for me.

I just want to know why it cause the different result, for user "boincadm"
and "root". I will read that assimilator later and find out what exactly it
does. The assimilator is used to move the result to a place, when it access
or write something to somewhere, the file permission issue raised.
