error purging URLs

[Andrew Langhorn]

Sounds permissions-related. I'd start off with:

- `ps aux | grep varnishd` as root and noting the PID of varnishd
- `lsof -p $pid | grep vsm` to see where Varnish's shared memory log is
- checking that the Varnish user has read/write access to the location
returned above

Also, how are you using varnishd? Would be useful if you could post your
full varnishd command, including switches.

thanks
