You can turn off caching through a configuration directive in the config
file, but that's not recommended. Your site will make a fresh request to
Amazon for every rebuild, including each time comments are posted.

Cache files are never deleted, the plugin simply ignores them it they are an
hour or more old. So you aren't running into a deletion problem.

I can't think of why it would be saying that the file doesn't exist on that
line. Assuming you're using the latest version of MTAmazon, it doesn't look
for a file at all anywhere near that line. By the time you get to that point
in the code, the cache file has already been checked and loaded. That's the
point at which the code parses the XML content.

There was a similar problem reported a while back and the solution was that
XML::Parser and Expat were not installed on the server. Installing
XML::Parser (which in turn installs Expat) solved it. But the fact that
you've been running find for a few days puzzles me. Perhaps something has
gone wrong with the XML::Parser installation. Could you have your server
admiin re-install it and see if that fixes the problem?
