I don't know what your machine is configured like, but I'm rather surprised to see you use 'sudo' with darcs. In case you're not already familiar with the purpose of sudo, I'll explain. The purpose is to give the command the same privileges as root, the super user. Effectively, you're giving darcs full range over your computer. Although, this should be harmless in the case of darcs, it is usually a bad idea to give commands superuser privileges unless they really need it :) Good luck!
