There might be a clue buried in the strace output that would shed some 
light on this problem.

When you say "clean re-installation" do you mean rm -rf /opt/fedora-ds?

Probably a permissions problem in admin-serv/config - local.conf, 
adm.conf, admpw, and console.conf must be owned by the admin server user 
and must be writable.  The directory admin-serv/config must be owned by 
the admin server user and be writable.
