Recently one of our app servers went down, when it was rebooted the Python Beaker module stopped producing cache files.
The error I am getting is:

Ive gone right back through the modules and found that the cache directory is:
cache_dir = /opt/pyapps/menuadmin/data
The code creating the cache (a controller module from the main application called pagecache.py):
cm = Cache('page_cache',type='ext:memcached',url=config['beaker.session.url'],data_dir=config['pylons.cache_dir'])
But when I visit this directory, there is no cache file there.
Can anyone think of why beaker would suddenly throw this error? Could it be some sort of permissions error maybe?
I dont know what actually caused this, some sort of server reset Im guessing, but I managed to hack the program and force it to create a new save file in the beaker directory.
