Without wanting to be killed but there are more postings concerning this problem. The killing part is in the fact that other postings are with windows.
I had the same problem on windows. Turns out to be a "double" problem.
1st -- rights: local systemaccount did not have enough priviliges to access network shares. I.e. I now have the apache service run as a account which does have rights for that directory
2nd -- php problem: php does not seem to catch windows drive-letters from about php 4.3 or so. For me it worked to only use UNC coding (\\server\sharename\directory\).

So not one, but two challenges. Might be the in the same range with Linux:
1st -- rights problem
2nd -- use full unc paths.

Trying to find the time to work this out. Sorry, not yet!

Also look at what our core programmers are saying about this feature for 2.0.1! Maybe we will be to late by then (gladly)

Thnx Alfa! Appreciate your work!

Going to try it on my test site. When I finish an english translation, I will add it to this post.

ok, a little translation into English.

Please keep us informed if you manage to get this thing to work!! Look out, i think i found this module already. It's called "anniversaire" and is available for E-xoops. It just adds a field to enter your birthday and display it.

IMHO XOOPS is definitely in need of a good myprofile module or something!!

Translation is added after EN:

ok Ted, no hailing then. I stick to thanx, ok ?

Maybe the following helps.

Phpmyadmin showed that the number of entries was corrected from 8 to 5 when repairing the xoops_session table. My guess is that it is something to do with MySQL and then probably in a ISP hosted environment. Offered MySQL functionalities often reside at servers that do not have, as you may call it, a well balanced load.
Having 8 entries corrected back to 5 and a myi file "in use" gives me ideas of "not completed" write actions etc.

But I also think we should jump out of this thread in case we might discuss this thing out.

Again thnx. I got my site up and running.

adding a solution I found on the forums just yesterday --> repairing the Xoops_session table did the job for me.

The cookie thing is probably most valid if you use XOOPS session cookies!

Ok, I know it is solved, but adding this repairing thing makes this post a more complete one.

@ted, wasn't it you that first posted this solution ?

tedsmith was right. I had the same problem at my site. PHPmyadmin showed that the xoops_session table was "in use". Repairing it solved my problem!!
