Initial restart after 5am backup - GamePref.UserDataFolder, GamePref.SaveGameFolder, etc using /home/ubuntu/ instead of /home/sdtdserver #245

This only occurs for me directly after a 5AM backup, causing the server to appear to lose save game data since it is looking in the wrong location (/home/ubuntu/... as opposed to /home/sdtdserver/...) for our save game files.

Searching the logs for /home/ here are the matches from a 5am restart:

29:Mono path[0] = '/home/sdtdserver/serverfiles/7DaysToDieServer_Data/Managed'
30:Mono config path = '/home/sdtdserver/serverfiles/7DaysToDieServer_Data/MonoBleedingEdge/etc'

Simply restarting the container correctly uses /home/sdtdserver/, here is an example of "normal" logs:

29:Mono path[0] = '/home/sdtdserver/serverfiles/7DaysToDieServer_Data/Managed'
30:Mono config path = '/home/sdtdserver/serverfiles/7DaysToDieServer_Data/MonoBleedingEdge/etc'

636:GamePref.UserDataFolder = /home/sdtdserver/.local/share/7DaysToDie

Note correct values for:

41:PlayerPrefs - Creating folder: /home/sdtdserver/.config/unity3d/The Fun Pimps
589:GamePref.SaveGameFolder = /home/sdtdserver/.local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves
etc

Is this some LinuxGSM config that I am missing here? As you can see it uses /home/sdtdserver in both cases, it's just for some paths it will use /home/ubuntu ONLY after a 5am backup. It seems to be some type of default otherwise it's grabbing incorrect path info for some reason. None of my configs use /home/ubuntu/... nor am I attaching any volumes like that to the docker. I see UserDataFolder and SaveGameFolder properties in the serverconfig xml, but I don't understand why it would need that since it properly finds the default locations 99% of the time with the exception of 5am backups.

Thanks in advance for any help with this!
