Aaargh!

premissions on the /var/cache/mt-daapd directory (or the db file itself) are probably not writable by the “runas” user.

Running mtdaapd 0.2.4+r1376-2, and I have both sqlite and sqlite3 installed. I have also opened port 5353 from 224.0.0.251 and 3689 incoming from everyone (is that one necessary?)

Yes. Both are necessary. 5353/224.0.0.251 is the mdns stuff, the 3689 is the admin web page as well as the daap server.
