A complaint is not about a failed listing but that sawfish cannot
parse a line from that listing.  The line quoted in your error
message looks quite innocent but I wonder if '-' signs in
"test-32/test-32" user designation are not spooking a parser.
Everything else appears to be "normal enough"; not even "weird"
characters in file names.
