Yeah, this is a known problem :
- mldonkey start as root
- mldonkey daemonize
- mldonkey changes to user mldonkey:mldonkey
- here comes the problem : mldonkey cannot use all the group of mldonkey
  user, only the primary one ( ie mldonkey in standrad install )

The problem comes from ocaml. There is not binding for the function
setgroups. So i cannot set all the group of a user.

The solution :
set the primary group of mldonkey to "disk". This should help you to
circumvent the problem.

Let me know if it works.
