It sound like your server is set to safe mode or something similar, which prevents BoltWire from creating directories/writing pages. Or it may be application.cpp, which I'm not familiar with. Perhaps it could be googled.
As for problems, if it seems to be working you are probably ok. BoltWire only needs to be able to read from/write to pages. But there are other folders it may need to create in the future that it can't, such as a stamps directory, a files directory, an indexes directory and an html directory, and so on--depending on what you do with BoltWire. Without those folders certain functions may not work. Or at least not until you create the directory. You might also want to talk with your tech support people and see if they can't shed a little light on what's happening. If you find anything more, let us know.
