Hi Lars,

The error is not referring to the dictionary file (FIX4.0.XML) but to 
the persistent storage file for messages.

Check to be sure the FileStorePath points to a valid path.
Check to see if BeginString,  SenderCompID, and TargetCompID are defined 
correctly and consist of characters which are valid in filenames on your 
system.

If neither of these helps, please send the config file so someone on the 
list can look for other problems.
