[mythtv] Unable to launch mythfeed

I'm running mythbuntu 9.10, but recently I compiled mythtv 0.22 and
the plugins from scatch to check out mythfeed.  I downloaded and
compiled mythfeed without error.  After adding new sections to
media_settings.xml and library.xml, I'm able to see MythFeed on my
frontend.  However, when I try edit the settings of the plugin, I get
a message:  "Failed to configure plugin mythfeed".  When i try to run
the plugin, I get  "The plugin mythfeed failed to run for some
reason..."


Looking at my mythfrontend log, I see this:

2010-03-12 22:36:36.619 Inserting MythFeed initial database information.
2010-03-12 22:36:36.620 Upgrading to MythFeed schema version 1000

2010-03-12 22:36:36.625 Unable to configure plugin 'mythfeed': not initialized



I've tried executing the SQL query manually and it worked.

Any suggestions?
