[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

It does exactly the same thing with --debug-init (says "creating directory:
permission denied...") and supplies no further information.

I think --debug-init is for debugging an init file, right? It's not getting
as far as loading the init file so it won't be able to debug it.
