I used to get this every so often - I think only when running as 'root'.
If you read the error message quickly enough, it says that it can't
open "Filecabinet/.".  Well, 'root's login directory is "/", and I
didn't have a directory "/Filecabinet".  So I simply created one -
it doesn't have any files in it, of course - and I haven't seen the
error message since.
