Here's the output of that ls:

We are storing the indexes in a shared path above the current release.
That path is symlinked to the current release upon deploy.

We're basically following your deployment strategy, ours is something
like:

...regular cap deploy steps...

1. deploy:cleanup
2. ts:conf
3. ts:reindex

So we're not stopping and starting sphinx before we symlink and
configure. Could that be the problem?

Thanks,
Clayton
