I use amule with /mnt/hda7/amule/temp as the temporary directory. When I start amule but haven't mounted my filesystem on /mnt/hda7 (i.e. /mnt/hda7/amule/ and /mnt/hda7/amule/temp/ doesn't exist), amule doesn't start properly : it even crashes.
Here is the output of amule before it dies :

OOPS! - Seems like aMule crashed.
Version is: aMule 2.0.0rc7 using wxGTK1 v2.4.2
