Based on your message only, no.  I think that one of us will need to
reproduce and debug these issues.  Galaxy - maybe you?  (I think you
were using Owl with VMware before.)

Robert - one thing you could try is running those tools under "strace -fF".
This should reveal what files they're trying to access.
