IKEA PAX wardrobe door is catching frame

We inherited a well used IKEA Pax wardrobe. It's nice but one of the sliding doors doesn't close fully. On closer inspection, I noticed that the door guide at the bottom rail of the faulty door is catching along the wardrobe frame. I wondered if the rail was screwed too close but there doesn't seem much option. Any idea's on how this should work?

    The second pic appears to show a sticking out section on the plinth? Isn't the lower door guide not just hitting this?
    (Seems a bit too obvious!)
    If so, it's surely not the rail's fault, but the plinth piece. What is that bit?
