Favourites.xml issue

First up let me say fantastic skin - easy to use with a mouse and pleasant on the eyes. I find it much nicer than Estuary.

I seem to have a problem with favourites.xml - specifically, Black Nova crashes and gets corrupted because it can't find my path substituted favourites.xml file located on my server - instead it looks in the local profile directory, As I'm not a skinner, I'm not sure whether it's Black Nova or an addon script it uses. This is the relevant section in the kodi error log:

For reference I am using Kodi 17.1 RC1 with a MySQL setup (individual DB's located on a local MySQL server). I have also put user playlists and favourites on the local server so users can move from device to device without having to redo playlists & favourites.[/php] Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in the script somewhere?
