Yes, I have resolved that one.  It was as I mentioned earlier that I had
forgotten to install PyXML.  Oops.

Yes, I've set logdir and the path is correct.  The permissions on the
log directory are the same as the permissions on the comments directory.
Since I can successfully create comments now I would assume that it
would also be able to write logs.  I just tested the failure (by taking
away write permissions on the comment directory and trying to add a
comment) and I still get the same failure when it attempts to log.

I hate problems like this because I'm sure it's just something simple
that I missed given my lack of python knowledge.  Python 2.2.1 is
kosher, right?

Any chance you could toss that source tweak this way so I could give it
a quick whirl?
