Public bug reported:

I installed mediatomb and configured it with the file I've attached to
this bug report. Mediatomb fills the log file with permission denied
messges, it can take gigabytes because if I don't stop the service it
won't stop doing that.

The apport.log file shows the following text:

I was using MediaTomb on Ubuntu 13.10 with the same config file and I
had no problems. A pair of messages with the permission denied WARNING
and that's all. But with the version included in Ubuntu 14.04 MediaTomb
enters a loop of crashes printing that message instead of warning you
and continue running.

I made a Ubuntu 14.04 fresh install and only restored my /home (partially, no 
"." directories except .local, .mozilla and .thunderbird) and the /etc/group, 
/etc/shadow files along with some .desktop.
I checked group and shadow numbers and corrected them to match the files in the 
Ubuntu live image.
