Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Problem :(]

Hi everyone.

I'm having a small (read:big) problem writing my stream to a file.
Here's my set up :

PC : Linux box with Ices running to record in ogg our class ( yes for school )
I know it's not the problem since it's been working all along.. and we can listen to the stream.

Server : Another linux box, running Icecast 2.3.1 with this config file.

<!-- If enabled, this will provide a burst of data when a client
first connects, thereby significantly reducing the startup
time for listeners that do substantial buffering. However,
it also significantly increases latency between the source
client and listening client. For low-latency setups, you
might want to disable this. -->

On the PC I have scripts to start the recording and diffuse it on the server.. as well as saving them to a file as they record. We record one file for low bandwidth and one for high bandwidth. The lower one never works no more, and i know the scripts on the PC are not faulty.. as they used to work with another server.

The high bandwidth one works like maybe 15% of the time... and when it doesn't I get this error log.
