yup, I'm sure that the GIDs are correct. when I switch the GID second in order to being the first, the connection happens perfectly to the second GID. so the GIDs are correct. I've also checked them a couple times.
Maybe it's an issue of autowelcome 1.0 vs 1.01... that's what I was hoping it'd be. I also had upgraded from CB RC 2 to 1.02 using the expert upgrade method. I can upgrade to 1.01, and if it doesn't work, I'd be happy to give you admin access to the site.... I really don't know what else to do.
