Comment 1 for bug 809814

You'll see that the file it's referring to isn't one of the book files, but the Scribe configuration file: /home/scribe/.scriblio/scribe.xml

This file is indeed empty. How did it come to be this way? One theory is that because the disk is so full, it might have been edited at a time when there was absolutely no more room on the disk and it wrote an empty file.

In any case, we have two problems here:

1. The full disks.
2. The empty file.

The empty file can easily be recreated, but the full disks are going to keep causing problems. Can we somehow get all these lingering books onto a temporary storage until they're able to be uploaded?

As for the file, you can copy one from one of the other scribes and it should solve the issue (just change the scribe # inside the file).
