Hi Nick!

Thank you very much. That helped me out. Tomcat had no enough right to access 
my path.
Freundliche Grüsse

I believe recordings are going (seen in his screenshot)

I want to say the “owner” of the recording path needs to be “tomcat”, maybe 
someone can correct me if I am wrong.

No, the owner does not need to be tomcat, but the following two things must be 
true:
* The user account under which guacd is running must have read/write/execute 
access to the folder where the recordings are stored. Since guacd does the 
actual recording of the session, it needs to be able to write the files. This 
also means it will need the appropriate access to the folders above where the 
recording folder is located - at least execute, to be able to traverse the 
folder structure.
* The user account under which Tomcat (or JBoss, etc.) is running must have 
read access to the folder and files where the recordings are stored, as the 
extension that enumerates those recordings is part of the web application. This 
means that the folder access must be appropriate, but also that the recording 
files created by guacd must be created with a mode that allows the Tomcat user 
to read them.

At least one way to accomplish this, assuming that guacd and Tomcat are running 
on the same system, is to:
* Create a UNIX group ("guacamole", for example).
* Add the user running guacd to the "guacamole" group.
* Add the user running Tomcat to the "guacamole" group.
* Make sure ownership of the recording folder is set to the guacd user and 
"guacamole" group.
* Make sure the mode of the recording folder is set to at least 0750 
(read/write/execute for guacd user, read/execute for "guacamole" group).
* Make sure that the mode of the recording files is at least 0640 (read/write 
for user guacd user, read for "guacamole" group).

-Nick
