Adam, If it says "failed to read config file" then it's failed to load the XML file at all, so commenting out one line or the other isn't going to make any difference. Make sure you're specifying the right path to the XML file, and that the file and the directory are readable (by the user that ices runs under)...

The use of 'xmllint ices.xml' may indicate a possible cause. karl.
