I'm NOT a Linux expert (!) but I had a similar problem when I first tried on FC3. I think you've probably installed as root and then started slimserver as root when the slimserver daemon script didn't work as part of the install. As a result slimserver is using /root/ as the home directory and has put slimserversql.db and slimserver.db in /root/, and various other stuff under /root/usr/local/slimserver...
You probably need to kill these and their locations in a config file somewhere (sorry not sure where), and then restart slimserver as a normal user (preferably slimserver:slimserver), whereupon it will create them somewhere more appropriate.
