I am new to FM Server and I may be doing something wrong. BUT the settings I enter in the FM Server Preferences never get saved, regardless of whether I change them while the server is running or not. On subsequent start they always revert to the default settings. Also, the backup schedule never gets executed. The server stops when the time to do the backup comes but nothing happens. Also, the server frequently stops for no apparent reason after a few minutes of running. Now, I have these problems only on my Mac running OSX (I am logged in as root) but not on my Windows machine. There everything works just fine. Any ideas?

As I'm sure you'll hear from others, these are two issues with FM Server 5.5 on OSX. FM Tech Support still can't give us a time when a patch might be available. Hopefully this will be soon because it's a ridiculous situation, especially since you can't run Classic FM Server 5.5 on any new hardware (9.1 is required).
