Dropbox on OS6

Thanks ClaesBas,

Doesn't seem to be the problem - I tried mucking round with it but still can't get it running.

See some of the stuff I've tried below. It keeps telling me "The Dropbox daemon is not installed! Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon" but running "dropbox start -i" doesn't start it.
