Description
Just spent some time unravelling a problem at ScanCafe? where nodes were refusing to start because they couldn't open storage/shares/incoming.
It turns out that directory was owned by root. I'm guessing that someone tried to run the nodes as root, thus hosing things up. Not sure why that was the only thing affected, but it seemed to be.
We should complain if we think we're running as root, possibly with a commandline switch or config entry to force it... or possibly not. :)
