I must be missing something...

I've got 2 users:
uid=104(xymon) gid=501(beheer) groups=501(beheer), home directory 
(=install directory): /data/xymon

uid=105(xymontst) gid=501(beheer) groups=501(beheer), home directory: 
/data/tstxymon

Each user has a different XYMONHOME:

/data/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg:XYMONHOME="/data/xymon/server"

/data/tstxymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg:XYMONHOME="/data/tstxymon/server"

according to the documentatiop of 'ftok' this should be working..

Wat am I missing?

BTW:
my system is a RedHat EL6 system:
Linux server 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 2 14:17:40 EST 
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Can you please advise?
