I managed to cheat by freeing up enough space on / to run the album cover app. Still cannot get it to run over a symlink to a location on either of my sd cards, but a simple copy or cd in xterm does not work either. My theory is that this is due the cards being formatted as fat32, and not linux. Not moved the covers folder to the card to see if canola will read the dir, but I suspect that it will fail. I have a new 2gb card to hand, so I will try formatting that as linux and see if that works.

An idea may be to have the location for .canola to be customisable so it can be on an sd card.
