Yes there is no problem there, Squish and my Editor is beeing runed by the
same user. I guess it's a problem in the msgapi, i'm quite scure.

That's not the problem. Here is the log:

+ 22 Jul 12:05:11 SQSH Begin, Squish/UNIX v1.11 (mem=4836K - main=0x804aa40)
# 22 Jul 12:05:11 SQSH Scanning messages

+ 22 Jul 12:05:11 SQSH End.  Toss=0 (0/s), sent=1 (1/s), mem=4808K

No problem :)

No, the problem isn't in the filesystem.
