Descriptive Problem Summary:
If we trying to write ban.txt thourgh APP prefix(SetConfig("APP/ban", ..., ...)) into dmidir/cfg directory, then it just not works. Also GetConfig not reading information from dmidir/cfg/ban.txt too.

GetConfig/SetConfig has historically been pretty funky with the APP/ namespace. I wrote a library a long time ago (http://www.byond.com/developer/Audeuro/AppConfig) to make it work. No idea if it still works or not, but it has been known-broken at least as of 2006.
