Hi Bob,

Your problem is probably here. Versions 1.0.5 (old stable branch, ~23  
months old) and versions 1.1.x (old development) and 1.2.x (new  
stable) are not compatible.

The new stable series, 1.2.x are all compatible with each other.

Since you said that a new Ubuntu 8.04 is installed on the destination,  
I suspect that it has version 1.1.15 or so.

I suggest you install version 1.2.1 on both the client and the  
destination.
