It's prolly cos when doing "sudo echo" the echo won't run as root due to how the shell functions.

Try piping instead

Code:

# Write/overwrite
echo "Some text" | sudo tee /directory/.mpdignore >/dev/null

# Append
echo "Some text" | sudo tee -a /directory/.mpdignore  >/dev/null

# NOTE: The >/dev/null is just to prevent the text from being echoed to the console.

Good point. I was fixated on actually editing a file or copying it in from somewhere else.
