Deploy HFS configuration across various machines

[newbie]

I am using HFS 2.3m.

I am noticing however, that in some rare instances, HFS will start up as a service just fine, but the permissions will not be set. So AddFolder, Delete etc will not work.

And to reiterate, I am starting it as a service using a VFS that I am copying around which was created by:
- starting HFS on server1, then manually setting the permissions via the Properties page, then saved to a .vfs.
Now, this vfs is loaded across the various machines 1...n in HFS, where HFS is started as a service.

{.set item|myData|add access=robert.}

this is working for me.  Be sure that at the time of execution your myData is already under the root, and that an account "robert" exists.
