Squirrelmail issue: Error opening ../data/default_pref

[Dr_Stein]

Error opening ../data/default_pref
Default preference file not found or not readable!
Please contact your system administrator and report this error.

I've already checked the FAQ, and Google.

in conf.pl I have this:

2. Data Directory : /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mail/data/
3. Attachment Directory : $data_dir

in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mail/ I have this:

postal squirrelmail #


I tried chmod 777 -R data just to (hopefully) eliminate permissions

In /data, I have this:

postal data # ls -laF
total 6
drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 80 Apr 19 13:20 ./
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 640 Apr 7 22:03 ../
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 82 Apr 19 13:20 default.pref*
postal data #

This is SM 1.4.2
Gentoo Linux
Apache 1.3.29
mod_PHP 4.3.6

How can I fix this? It just started.. I think this cronjob had something to do with it:
#Remove cruft from squirrelmail
#0 3 * * * find /var/www/localhost/htdocs/squirrelmail/data -type f -mtime +1 -exec rm -f {} \;

Any advice? Thanks!

EDIT:
Nevermind, I'm dumb. I simply screwed up the file names.. default_pref vs default.pref - auugh
