Running this stuff as root is not a good idea. If its misconfigured or
buggy you've given it permission to trash any file or directory on your
file system. I created a cricket account and have had no problems.
Did you then set the permissions on the cricket directories to allow write
access for the user 'cricket'? If you cd to the directory above all of the
cricket stuff and type 'chown -R cricket <cricket directory>' you will
recursively change the owner of all of the files in the cricket directory
to cricket. This command should work under linux; YMMV for other OSs.

'/../' means parent of current directory. If you read the path from left
to right and imagine typing 'cd' before each directory you'll see the path
as the program does. The whole mess translates to
'/home/cricket/cricket-data'.
