Sorry for late reply, I have email notifications turned off, and rarely visit my repos.

I am curious what happened - my guess is, that the directory to save to was no longer existing.
@bszilagyi do you remember what was the problem?

[e3krisztian]

I have successfully recreated the problem.
Indeed it happens, when the box directory is no longer available.

I am sorry to not reply. Yes, that was exactly the problem. It was on the new server, and Olivér was still organizing the directory structure. The issue was solved quickly. I have just slavishly followed the kind suggestion in the error message to open an issue, but later I forgot to close it. I am sorry again. It was very kind of you to look into the issue.

@bszilagyi Thank you for making this issue. It is a genuine error! Ideally, you should never see such a message. It will be fixed. - If you have any such problem you could work around easily, please report the issue as well as the workaround. Bead should *just work*, without workarounds. Please continue reporting problems! :)

In this case a more explicit error message would do. Something like: "The bead box directory does not seem to exist: <bead box name>: <non existent directory name>"
