That’s a permissions problem on the mp3 directory. Probably right on the root.
Try pointing it to the “real” location, and double check the permissions there. THat might get you somewhere.
SHould follow symlinks, but still.
You can verify that by doing something like:
root@foo:~# su nobody
nobody@foo:~$ ls /path/to/mp3s
If you can’t get a directory of the mp3 directory when you are logged in as “nobody”, the server won’t work either. So that’s your litmus test.
