When I try to start mediatomb it fails. I see this in dmesg

[...]
[916349.374331] init: mediatomb main process ended, respawning
[916349.394462] init: mediatomb main process (880) terminated with status 1
[916349.394512] init: mediatomb main process ended, respawning
[916349.414598] init: mediatomb main process (882) terminated with status 1
[916349.414647] init: mediatomb respawning too fast, stopped

My current /etc/init/mediatomb.conf looks like this.
