+still struggling with these errors, after correcting some of the permisions 
+where the fix was stated the next msec check promptly contradicted itslef by 
+saying i should change them back, the following two system emails have just 
+been produced by msec:
+1.

+-------------
+as you can see the contents of 1 contradict the contents of 2 but both are 
+produced by the msec cron jobs that run about 4am, i must be alone in this 
+error since i can't imagine it being widespread and not reported before, 
+therefore my install must be unique somehow and the only candidate in my mind 
+is my not formatting /var when i did the install, only surely that's not 
+uncommon?
