This then set the database to be the same as the station you got the clone from, but the tracks in /var/snd/ are the ones you put in there in Ch 1 > (Problem 1) I also tried to copy all the files in the snd directory to > var/snd, but for some reason the number of files don’t match up.

(I’m a > Linux newbie.) you need to set /var/snd so that whoever you are logged in as can write to the directory. in terminal as su may need to be sudo chown -R [yourlogin]:users /var/snd [enter] chmod -R 777 /var/snd [enter] > (Problem 2) Now I want to check that the programs are all there and > working.

You dont have permissions set so the above should fix it plus you need to set up the playout machine as a host RD recognises. > (Problem 3) I thought I’d go ahead and re-import my programs while I > figure out the above.

Do I need both of those? Can I delete one?
