Did you do this manually, or did you use the web interface?  If manually,
then the service might not be finding that file.  If via the web interface,
then it ought to be consistent.

(The service could look for/store things in better places than it currently
does - 1.1 will attempt to fix this).

An easier way would be to put it somewhere that all users have access to,
and add a global environment setting (e.g. with the System control panel)
'BAYESCUSTOMIZE' that pointed to it.

Possibly.  The path to the configuration file is at the top of the web
configuration page - see if it stays consistent or not.  If it doesn't, then
there's a problem to be figured out.
