I don't know what's the problem since it works for me! :(
Would you please make sure that your simspark binary is actually 
rebuilt?! rcssserver3d data directory is expected to be added inside 
simspark/main.cpp to the list of resource locations. Would you please 
check the value of RCSS_BUNDLE_PATH macro inside rcssserver3d_config.h? 
It should contain the path of rcssserver3d data directory.
I've just rebuilt everything and installed both spark/rcssserver3d from 
scratch and it works. :(
If it still doesn't work for you with the latest svn, you could put some 
debugging messages in fileserver.cpp (LocateResource) to see which 
directories are checked.
Please let me know the results.

This is not a new behavior, and not related to the resource management. 
It's done by ScriptServer if I remember correctly (before separating 
packages, it used .rcssserver3d instead). The script file is installed 
in the installation directory, but when you run simspark (or 
monitorspark(now rcssmonitor3d!)) it checks to see if kerosin.rb is 
available in your home directory. If not, it'll copy kerosin.rb to 
.simspark in your home directory. It's not a bad thing, since you can 
modify settings in your local kerosin.rb without changing the original 
file. In fact it is proposed to do the same thing with other 
configuration files so that users don't need root access to change some 
settings. It's like other programs who store user specific configuration 
in his home directory.

Thanks a lot,
Hedayat
