Summary0009168: taler-exchange-offline claims master key file does not exist, when in fact it does exist
DescriptionSee steps below, clearly the key exists, is readable, has the right permissions.

Only oddity is that it's in a symlinked dir:

root@3238da6bbfbb:/# ls -la /var/lib/taler/exchange-offline
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jun 30 14:06 /var/lib/taler/exchange-offline -> /talerdata_persistent/exchange-offline
Steps To ReproduceIn the taler-test@gv sandcastle:

root@3238da6bbfbb:/# sudo -i -u taler-exchange-offline taler-exchange-offline -LDEBUG setup

Actually, the key does exist, the folder that it's in just doesn't have the right permissions.

Resolving this, though a better error message would've been nice.
