looks like theres something wrong then.
you can either use sancho to adjust the directories (tools > preferences

and remove mldonkey (choose complete removal) and install it again.
after that, create the hiden directory .mldonkey in your homedir, open a
terminal and type "mldonkey_server" and there you go. to shut down
mldonkey just press Ctrl+C in the terminal. at first run mldonkey should
create all necessary files/folders in your homedir.
