[CentOS] how to set a directory to system_u?

Hi,

I'm trying to a lable a directory for ejabberd to store files that were uploaded with the http_upload module. Apparently I should set this to 'system_u:object_r:ejabberd_var_lib_t:s0' since all the files in /var/lib/ejabberd are. So:

ls -laZ /srv/data/ unconfined_u:object_r:ejabberd_var_lib_t:s0 320 Jul 29 23:55 ejabberd semanage fcontext -a -t ejabberd_var_lib_t -s system_u '/srv/data/ejabberd(/.*)?' restorecon -R /srv/data/ejabberd/ ls -laZ /srv/data/ unconfined_u:object_r:ejabberd_var_lib_t:s0 320 Jul 29 23:55 ejabberd

Why doesn't this work? Why can't they finally write some decent tool to use selinux that allows us to keep it enabled???

How can I set up the directory for ejabberd to store files in?
