I just had a play with moving ~/.liferea_1.4 onto the FAT partition in
my laptop and creating a link to it, and it seemed to work fine. I had
a play around running liferea as a different user with a link to the
profile on the FAT drive: that failed the first time I tried it as the
copy on the FAT drive didn't have write permissions for the user I was
running liferea as so I added global read and write permissions to it
and it then worked (so the ownership of the folder doesn't seem to be
an issue, just the permissions).
I don't have a network drive handy to test with but I think it should
still work there. Could you try running liferea from a terminal with
the profile on the network drive and see if it outputs any clues about
what is going wrong?
