What do you get if you type "df" at a command prompt?  What I'm
wondering is if you perhaps left logging turned on and filled up your
hard drive.  If so, go into ~/.xastir/logs and start deleting away.
If your xastir.cnf file got corrupted due to this, just delete it and
start up xastir again.  It'll create a new one with good defaults,
then just set up your special configuration options again.

If your hard drive's not full, it could be a permissions problem
for files or directories in your ~/.xastir directory.

Just the first two guesses...
