I still see: @pkgdatadir@, etc. in the paths of the icecast.xml. 
Is this the used configuration file for the actual icecast ?
Then the should be replaced by the actual directory names. Isn't  it ?

Dear members
I have for 3 days now been battling with an icecast crash. Since I have 3 months
of after hours experience I am taking some real strain in resolving it and hope
someone can help. I have included as much info as possible.
Please let me know what else you need.

Which version of Icecast is this?
It might be helpful to see the Icecast error.log messages leading up to a crash.
If possible at log level 4 DBUG.
I'm slightly confused because your path section looks rather odd.
Cheers,
Thomas

Let me figure out how to do the Log level 4 and I will be back in about 7 hours.
Greetings from South Africa! 12pm!
