It's running an older version of MM (2.0.13) as I haven't gotten around

We've had probs with nested lists in the past. I think the issue had to do

Regarding the problems I had where the tracedump was complaining of

things some (chmod g+w in $PREFIX/logs, $PREFIX/archives/private)
and then re-running check_perms. Interesting that check_perms ran
successfully previously.
