Yes, you were.  But I'm good at being confused sometimes... :)

I have the same issue on my YDL system.  I'd just never tried the File  
Mangler before.  It works fine on my RHL 7.2 system running 0.990,  
though...  I also got an error on a remote RHL 7.2 system running  
Webmin 0.93, if that's any consolation...

My guess would be a webmin problem, not a a YDL problem, but if you  
have YDL support, you can sure ask them...
