Hi !

I've discovered that the numbers reported by filestat were always 0, expect for the user running diamond. So typically a problem of permissions.

My solution: add use_sudo option, and the sudoers config to make it work without passwords.

I faced this issue on a ubuntu 12.04 machine.

Thanks !
