everything from the podcasts would be gone. seems to have been an issue with 
the version i had installed. went from 1.4.4-107 or 108(dont remember which) 
to 1.4.4-28 and everything is fine. 

troubled ver was x86_64 installed from guru repository  

btw, everything remained except for the podcast info. would have to 
resubscribe to all podcasts. the only thing that did get saved was the casts 
that were actually downloaded to .kde/share/apps/amarok so it doesnt seem 
that rw permissions are the problem.
