Ok. Checked the permissions and it still doesn't want to work. I'm trying to upgrade to 0.83 (having a problem with that too apparently), but this problem has been happening through multiple versions now.
Can someone give me specifics to check .. just in case I'm being an idiot and didn't check what I needed to. Thanks, Daniel ________________________________ Daniel A.

Enabled verbose logging, saw the problem, made the change, and now I'm happy as a clam. I should probably get kicked off the list for that pun.
