I may have a similar problem as Flares. I set up my tempdir on a fat32-partion to access it from linux as well as xp.
I mount this drive on bootup and modified my /etc/fstab/ to get write access for normal users:
/dev/hdb1 /windows/D vfat users,guid=users,umask=0002 0 0
When I start amule as normal user at the console no tempfiles will show in the transfers window and I get the following output:
stevie@linux:~> amule
Initialising aMule
Config:
x1: 0 y1: 0 x2: 1016 y2: 740
split read, found : 394

Any ideas what I have to change? ?(
