Anyone doing UPNP on Fedora ?

Whilst I have no experience with UPNP, what you've described sounds like
it could be a simple case of permissions (making the directories world
readable and executable, and all their parents, and the files world
readable), and/or SELinux contexts regarding sharing/serving files to
other users.

You see the same sorts of issues with other methods of serving files
(HTTP, Samba, et cetera).  Remote users are generally not authenticated
as being *you*, so they access them as *other* users.  And, SELinux is
generally set up to restrict access to files through services.

You might want to look for UPNP FAQs regarding file permissions and
SELinux.
