I think I may have discovered a bug, though.
I've been able to repeat this after two installs. If I change the paths in
pqact.conf and restart LDM, the data flows, but it stops being written to
the HD, even if absolute paths are specified.
After all, how often do people change their paths once they set them up?
I'm able to do this on 6.8.1, but not on 6.11.6.
