Sorry, please cancel this bug. The log file, at verbosity=3, only will have errors written to it. My log file just had a couple of errors posted when root created files in my homedir but did not give access to the files. I was suspicious that the log file was not being written to at all when the file was empty. Thank you anyway, Bob
No worries. ;) Feel free to reopen or file a new one if you spot anything further.
