arkmanager throwing "invalid steamcmd_user in config file"

[nshafer]

Commands like docker exec ark_server arkmanager status now just throw "Invalid steamcmd_user in config file". I can sort of get it to work if I run bash, sudo to the steam user, then run arkmanager, but I get lots of errors such as:

# su - steam
$ arkmanager status

Try exec with -u steam.

But thats a point which should at least be documented.. I'll do it later.
