Thanks Dave, as you may have seen I managed to resolve it. Your tip is right on track. What's confusing is the fact that the CF9 installer asks for the same details during install, so it seems illogical that another tool needs to be used to configure those same details yet again. Maybe it was an issue related to the permissions on that folder, who knows. But how is one to change permissions of a folder that does not exist until after the fact...
Ah well, the joys of a slightly custom setup...
