This is just a wild guess ... but do you chroot() icecast?

If yes, and your configuration is "somewhere else", it works at first 
because icecast chroots after reading its config. Once it is running, it 
might not find the .xml file anymore due to the chroot.

If the problem goes away when you turn of <chroot>, that's probably the 
cause.
