Hey all -

Just got a new neuros for xmas... what a great machine! Now for that USB2 support...

Anyway, I'm trying to sync using positron under linux. I'm running Gentoo with a 2.6 kernel. I can mount neuros at /mnt/neuros, can see all the files, read and write. positron config goes smoothly. But as soon as I try positron sync, I get this:

chris@juniper-gentoo chris $ positron sync
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/positron", line 175, in ?
main(sys.argv)

cmd.run(config, myNeuros, remaining[1:])

audio_db = neuros.open_db("audio")
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/positron/neuros.py", line 160, in open_db
self.db_formats[name]["no_flatten"])
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/positron/db/WOID.py", line 74, in open
mdb.set_extra_format(extra_format)
File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/positron/db/MDB.py", line 134, in set_extra_format
raise Error("Number of format strings does not equal number of extra info fields.")
positron.db.util.Error: Number of format strings does not equal number of extra info fields.

I haven't tried NeurosDBM yet. That is my next step. I guess if that doesn't work, I will be trying NSM under VMWare. But I really would like to have a workable OSS solution!
