For some reason 2.4.0 and 2.4.1 will not properly save the configuration file for me. On restart after saving and having everything working I get this.

This isn't a tragedy per se but it makes it very hard to restart to try to reset my averages or change placement. I suppose I could start putting everything in the batch file assuming I can specify 2 pools. The Bitforce single was detected every time. My configuration file is as follows from this last start.
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://pool.bitclockers.com:8332",
"user" : "UserName",
"pass" : "Password"
},
{
"url" : "http://localhost:8331",
"user" : "XXX",
"pass" : "xxx"
}
],
,
"api-port" : "4028",
"disable-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"net-delay" : true,
"queue" : "2",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"load-balance" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
I am confused by the kernel-path line as I used the executable for windows and run Windows 7 64 bit. That line should be for linux I am unsure on Unix possibly in it as well. I know that removing that line does not make it load but my pre 2.4 version did not list it in the configuration file that I remember. Should I change that to somewhere else?
Thanks for the help.
