I had this with FC3 and filed it as bug 1085. I ran the RPM installation as 'root' and so it created the slimserver.db and slimserversql.db files in /root/ and the cachedir at /root/usr/local/slimserver/..
I had to change permissions on /root/ and on the browser chchedirs so that any user could access them.
