Icecast - Dec 2004 - icecast2 setup problem - unable to open logfiles

Hi,

I'm setting up icecast2 on a Mac OSX. I can't get it to run because
icecast complains about being unable to start logging - however, I'm
pretty sure the logfiles are accessible. The relevant part of the
config file is:

	<paths>
		<basedir>
			/Users/dan/icecasting
		</basedir>
		<logdir>
			/Users/dan/icecasting/logs
		</logdir>
		<webroot>
			/Users/dan/icecasting/webserving
		</webroot>
	</paths>
	<logging>
		<accesslog>
			icecast2access.log
		</accesslog>
		<errorlog>
			icecast2error.log
		</errorlog>
		<loglevel>
			4
		</loglevel>
	</logging>

Those logfiles are accessible - if I type "ls -l
/Users/dan/icecasting/logs" I get

-rw-rw-r--  1 dan  admin     0  6 Dec 23:48 icecast2access.log
-rw-rw-r--  1 dan  admin     0  6 Dec 23:48 icecast2error.log
-rw-rw-r--  1 dan  admin  1106  6 Dec 23:03 ices.log

Similarly, the "logs" directory is fully writeable. So why is Icecast
finding it impossible to open the files for writing?

I'll be grateful for any hints -
Best,
Dan
