Everything in /opt should be owned by root:root.

There is a structure to a Unix filesystem (see 'here' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard)). Runtime data goes to /var (that's why the squeezebox user gets permissions to write there (the chown commands in my original post)) If you start slimserver.pl manually, you have make sure it runs as the correct user (squeezeboxserver) and to pass the appropriate --prefsdir, --logdir and --cachedir flags, otherwise it will try to write somewhere (probably the current directory), which is not what you want (If you start it with the init script, the script will take care of this). You should also remove all stuff created in the /opt/logitech.../ directory from your previous attempts. btw, could you kindly refrain from randomly posting to two different threads - how about keeping everything related to building your own LMS here...
