There is a dumb option which does what you would like. It's in the help under --special

Code:

======globalSettings=====
If you wish to override any settings in mythicalSetup, use
globalSettings.  globalSettings allows you to take any setting
from the top of the mythicalLibrarian file and make it perminant.
mythicalSetup will not change this file.  Your settings will
remain static after upgrades.

globalSettings can be applied by creating a file called:
/etc/mythicalLibrarian/globalSettings
##############################################################
#SYMLINK=Disabled                                            #
#AlternateMoveDir=/media/usbDrive                            #
#NotifyUserName=adam                                         #
#XBMCIPs=( user:[email protected]:8080 )                #
#Database=Disabled                                           #
##############################################################
Done.

You would want to type something like:

Code:

echo "MoveDir='/media/recordings/Episodes'
AlternateMoveDir='/home/ubuntite/Episodes'
PrimaryMovieDir='/media/recordings/Movies'
AlternateMovieDir='/home/ubuntite/Movies'
PrimaryShowDir='/media/recordings/Showings'
AlternateShowDir='/home/ubuntite/Showings'
SYMLINK=Disabled">/etc/mythicalLibrarian/globalSettings

globalSettings will override all other settings.

What flavor/version of POSIX are you running? I can't reproduce most of these errors you are having. "~" should always expand to the person who called it. It's echo'd directly into mythicalLibrarian, without any sort of expansion.
