I deleted ~/.beagle/config/* and all is well now. There was nothing
wrong with the installation (I build using the Ubuntu scripts). I'm
guessing the problem was caused by some error in my user Daemon.xml
and/or FilesQueryable.xml causing the system-wide configuration files
not to be read. They have been carried through since a long time ago,
so perhaps somewhere along the line an update to beagle-settings have
been incompatible with the previous version and caused the
corruption???

I more folks are seeing this perhaps one should take a closer look at
the files I posted and have beagle-settings check for whatever error
they might have.

Anyway, thanks a bunch.
