If there is a problem accessing /var/spool.... I believe SM will still try to default back to ../data, thus you still get that error message even when you data_dir points elsewhere -- this is a common point of confusion for people posting on the lists, and possibly something we could change. As for the OP, he could double-check the data_dir setting and then first try with chmod 0777 to make sure the file is even being seen, then remove permissions until the problem is cornered. - paul -- __________________________ Open Guild, LLC http://openguild.net/ Software.Systems.Solutions ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
