Comment:

 While debugging, I realized that Vidalia only supports "--datadir <dir>"
 and not "--datadir=<dir>".  Be sure to include a space between each
 parameter and it's value!  When I include a space, everything does seem to
 be working properly.

 See #2965 for a Vidalia patch that will provide improved parameter
 validation and ability to read parameters that are separated by equal sign
 (ie: "--datadir=<dir>").

 If someone can reproduce the original issue, please reopen ticket and
 provide more info.
