That's the thing, I haven't run it as root. As a matter of fact, I
just cleared out *everything* pertaining to slimserver on my
linkstation and reinstalled *everything* back from the official 6.0.0
release. Then I used my startup script with the --user slimserver in
it and it still does the exact same thing...
Thankfully it seems that setting the --cachedir to the directory I
wanted did the trick though. I still think there's a bug in the code.
Thanks,
Daniel
