Interesting that you relate it to my problem with liferea.  I'm 
beginning to think both of these difficulties are something to do with 
using samba and FAT32 (to do with permissions that don't get set 
properly because FAT32 doesn't handle them).

Actually, I'm thinking of setting up a new file server, and I'm 
wondering whether to dump samba/FAT32 and just use nfs (it's a simple 
home LAN with no Windows machines).  Are there any problems or risks in 
just using nfs?
