I may be speaking the obvious here, but did you check permissions as well? Try 'chmod -R 777 [relevant path/]sqmdata', just to make sure. Do you still get the same error message? What does the output of a 'ls -la [relevant path/]sqmdata' look like? I think that the default data directory is called 'data' and not 'sqmdata'. Did you check the settings in '[relevant path/]config/config.php' (use '[relevant path/]config/conf.pl' for that) as well?
