What is in /vice/srv.conf, are you using relative pathnames?
Is the log a raw diskpartition, or stored on a filesystem and which type
of filesystem?
Can you open the log using rvmutl?

    # rvmutl
    * open /.../.../rvmlog
    * status
    * quit

All I can do is try to reproduce it, although with RVM it always seems
to be very hard to reproduce problems. Maybe send me a compressed and
uuencode or mimeencoded copy of your RVM log.
