The only error I've seen is a physics failure. Since installing the server edition I've done everything as a user (except where root priveliges were required - e.g. updating mono)
I may try moving the folder and see if it cures it. It's times like this I miss the GUI of a desktop. Having said that, since the only thing the machine is doing is running OpenSim, it shouldn't be particularly vulnerable. It's more annoying.
