[mohaa] Small problem

[Eric Koldeweij]

I know that, but thanks anyway. That's how I have it working right now.
What I tried to make clear is that IMHO there's no need at all to create 
a directory ~/.mohaa and it certainly shouldn't stop the server from 
running if it can't be created.

Oh well, it's a minor thing anyway :)

Grts,
Eric.
