    Okay, so I used IDLE to edit the gurm.py file, and Notepad to edit gurm.ini.

    The third line of the py file reads:

    GURMINI = "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gurm.ini"

    which references the folder that both the gurm py and ini files are located in.

    The ini file has lines written up like the following:

    gimpPath = C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
    userPath = C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes

    which is the default brush folder for GIMP on my install. The other gurm managers reference the default folders of their respective resources in the same manner.

    Try this ..Go to Edit Preferences.. Plugins... make sure you have TWO sets of folders ,one pointing to your program files folder and the other pointing to your user folder. Move the gurm.py file to the one that is in your user folder. Should be something like "C:\Users\USERNAME\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins"

    I have had some problems getting plugins and scripts to work in the install folder. Second....installing user stuff (brushes, etc) to your install folder is generally bad juju...now, if you uninstall GIMP to install a new version, all your added in stuff is gone....

    Hmm. Bad juju you say? That sounds somewhat less than ideal...

    Good suggestions, though. So far I haven't had a problem with the brushes I've installed in the brush folder disappearing through all the uninstalls/installs... but I can definitely see the possibility of it happening. Luckily I've got them all stored in my downloads folder as well.

    Anyway... once again, I'll be on this as soon as I get home and get a chance to fiddle on my personal laptop.
