Well before blaming permissions have you checked your disk space?
Although I am 95% sure that this isn't the problem, I'd double check
just to be sure. Check each partition individually using the du command
(du -sh /dir)
If that isn't it, try another media player. See if you get the same
error. Of course, I doubt this one too, but it's the first thing you
should check when something stops working.
If not, I'd check the ~/.xfmedia folder (or file, if there even is one).
If there isn't I'd touch it and chmod it to ug+rw, and then see if the
problem persists.
I've never used Xfmedia before, and it didn't save a configuration file
for me when I loaded it up.
Is the problem only occurring with Xfmedia, or with Xfce in general?
