I'm a moron. This is the BT3 support forum. Having the same exact issue on BT2. I'll go post in the right place. I'm sure we just need to fix some permissions.

Thanks Stryfe, I was just about to make a smart-aleck comment about the best resource EVUR being a 404, but you saved me. I'm a slackware noobie, so I'll definitely be boning up using some of this...
