That's because Fedora Core sometimes uses pidof -c instead of simply
pidof. What FC version is that?

mldonkey 2.6.x introduced MLDONKEY_DIR, where you can set your
home. This wasn't taken care of by the packages until recently.

The model works as follows: ML_HOME is bind-mounted into the chroot at
the same place where it is in the normal filesystem. So in the chroot
mldonkey sees the same folders as outside.

Try moving the chroot away, make sure you don't have any bind-mounts
left and reinstall mldonkey. If that works try finding out which part
of the chroot is buggy.
