Thunderbird Portable 2.0.1.4 Live CD Issues

Hi. I'm trying to run Thunderbird Portable 2.0.1.4 in Live CD mode. I've tried with the ini many times. It works fine locally on the hard drive. But when I copy the files onto CDR with the ini file at the root folder with thunderbird portable.exe it always loads as if nothing was set. All files are burned in the exact same folder structure as it was on the hdd. Help please.
