The permissions don't look right to me. When you setup Riv did you add the groups?
On Debian I would do the following which adds a rivendell security group and then adds your current user to the group. sudo addgroup rivendell sudo adduser `whoami` rivendell Then for the /var/snd directory, I would do the following: sudo mkdir /var/snd sudo chown `whoami`:rivendell /var/snd sudo chmod 0775 /var/snd Please note that the quotes in `whoami` are not an apostrophe. On UK keyboards its the button to the left of the number 1. I think its the same on the American layout but I'm not sure.
