 #    Location of all mixminion keys and file queues.  You don't need to
 #    create this directory; mixminion will do it for you.
 #
+#    Note that mixminion is fairly strict about its directory permissions:
+#    its Homedir below must be mode 700 and owned by whatever uid mixminion
+#    runs as, and all directories above the Homedir must be writeable by
+#    nobody except mixminion and root.
+#
+#    Don't worry though: Mixminion should give you helpful error messages if
+#    you get this wrong.
 #Homedir: /var/spool/minion
