I've seen some people report problems when trying to execute some
of my own backends, and most of the time it was because of SELinux
which prevented them to run, and removing it made them run.

Maybe you should look this way.

NB : I don't know anything about SELinux, so maybe it wouldn't prevent
filters from running, only backends, or maybe it's possible to
configure it so that it allows the execution of the backends or filters,
or maybe... I should read the doc :-)
