No no no! Never assume you have write access to the datadir. On linux
and other unix systems you are only allowed to write to the users home
directory. The datadir location should be considered read only, even
for the root user (it could actually be on a read-only filesystem)

You can get the home directory from the system by calling:
string homeDir =
Environment.GetSpecialFolder(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
