That's the problem (probably). In Unix-style systems, the relevant user
(squeezecenter) *must* have Execute "x" access on *all* *parent*
directories.
I.e. if, for example, your music is in
/home/public/music/foo/track.ogg, you want world-executable and
world-readable (mode 755) on "/home", "/home/public/",
"/home/public/music", and "/home/public/music/foo/".
The following commands will probably sort it out for you
===
cd /home/public/music #or wherever your music is
chmod -R a+r * # add read permission recursively to everything
find . -type d -exec chmod go+rx {} \; # Add read+exec perms to
directories
===
The punctuation at the end of the "find" command is important: it reads
"open-braces, close-braces, space, backslash, semi-colon".
