[mythtv-users] Error on initial Backend startup

[John Craig]

Hi People,

I am a newbie at this Myth deal (well actually this is my second try).  I am receiving an error on the initial startup of the backend.  I searched the discussion board as well as I could for this one and I have every message back to 11/2003.  Does anyone have any idea what I need to do here?
