[SlimDevices: Beta] Changing music path had no effect

Hi,

I've just been experimenting with tags on some of my files, and wanted to
limit my server to just a single album.

So I changed the music server path through the web interface, and did a full
re-scan (again from the web interface). It still seemed to be picking up all
my albums, and on further investigation I found that the slimserver.conf
hadn't been updated with the new setting.

I have the 'Prefs Write Interval' set to zero, which implies that preference
changes should be written to disk immediately.

This is running from a day or so old SVN from the 6.5 branch.

I got round it by stopping the server and manually editing the config file,
but I thought someone might be interested. Could it be a permissions problem
with the config file? It's only writable by the owner (root), so I guess
this could explain it?

Thanks

Andy
