I recommend against ever running beagle with "sudo".  It'll just mess up
the permissions in your home directory.  The AllowRoot setting is to
allow root desktop sessions to use beagle.

The crash isn't really related to the inotify_add_watch() error,
although it is perhaps an indicator of why things are crashing.  It
looks like you don't have read access to your home directory.  Are you
sure you're the owner?  I'd also recommend doing "chown -R
<user> .beagle" to fix any ownership problems created by using "sudo".
