Yes, this is a known problem.  The problem being that the server will only
look for the rulesets to use at the moment the game is started.
If no rulesets are found (because of an incorrect $FREECIV_PATH, presumably)
the server will quit.  Not very friendly.

$FREECIV_PATH must be a :-separated list of data/ directories, directories
in which the different rulesets are found.  If you set 'set techs civ1',
for example, it  will scan these directories for a civ1/techs.ruleset.
