Hrm.  I guess that wasn't as obvious as we would have liked,
but we provide a very easy to use tool to share bottles between users.

In the CrossOver configuration tool, under 'Manage Bottles',
there is an 'archive bottle' button, which will let you save
a bottle to a file (a .cxarchive file).  Then there is a 'restore bottle'
button which would let you take that file and use it for another user.

Hmm.  And I take it you don't see anything obviously wrong with
the file listed above?

Also, the fact that you've got the name 'dotwine' in there implies
that it's an older bottle, not a newly created one.  You may simply
be at a point where you'll do best to completely blow away your
bottles (and/or your ~/.cxoffice directory) and restart.
