Yeah, that shouldn't be a debug message. Fixed on master.

(rygel:16625): Rygel-DEBUG: rygel-user-config.vala:160: Failed to load
user configuration from file '/does/not/exist.conf': No such file or
directory

Agree, that's missing. Fixed on master.

The files in ~/.config/Rygel. Isolation works by 

a) Making sure you're not on a DBus session bus, otherwise new instances
of rygel will stop the old ones (unsetting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS)
b) exporting XDG_CONFIG_HOME to something different for each instance.

standard pcap format will do.
