There are bugs in exUserFolder that affect its use in the root folder. This 
patch fixes them for me:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=690599&group_id=36318&atid=416448

The received wisdom (in the XUF FAQ) is based around the idea that a bug or 
interface change could break XUF and lock you out of the root folder until 
the bug is fixed. I think that is bogus: if you put XUF and all your data in 
a sub-folder, then the same bug would lock you out of that sub folder. What 
good does it do you to be able to access the root folder (but not the 
subfolder) when there is no data there?
