Nothing special on my end. The scripts are located in /usr/bin with 
root:root ownership and 755 permissions. If you are having issues I 
would try deleting and reconfiguring your cards and their associated 
input assignments. Chances are you have something screwed up in your 
config. Like the other person said, maybe you have 2 copies in the 
database..
