$ mtn genkey -unavailable-
mtn: generating key-pair 'guitone@thomaskeller.biz'
enter passphrase for key ID [guitone@thomaskeller.biz]:
confirm passphrase for key ID [guitone@thomaskeller.biz]:
mtn: storing key-pair 'guitone@thomaskeller.biz' in /path/to/.monotone/keys/
mtn: fatal: boost::filesystem::filesystem_error: boost::filesystem::create_directory: "/path/to/.monotone": Keine Berechtigung
mtn: this is almost certainly a bug in monotone.
mtn: please send this error message, the output of 'mtn --full-version',
mtn: and a description of what you were doing to monotone-devel@nongnu.org.
mtn: failed to write debugging log to /path/to/.monotone/dump

Sure, one should have read/write rights in one's own home directory, but hey, this could be said nicer... =)
