srs still has a problem with databases sharing the same format - if you
try updating a number of such databases (eq embl and emnew) in one
go, it will only do the srsbuild for the first one, for the second
it will try the "srsbuild -c" and "srsbuild -m", and try to build
the links, but without the results of "srsbuild" these obviously fail.
A workaround for this is to define separate formats for emblnew
(EMNEW_FORMAT and EmNewFeatures_Format - or something like that)
These formats are identical to the original ones.
(At least this is what I did on our server)

Apart from a trivial permission thing - I once spend half a day
trying to find why I got this type of error and it turned out to
be caused by a srs core-dump which had filled the disk....
(srs core dumps tend to be very large - or our disks very small..-)
