I see this repeating in my log:

Seems like you have updated your mysql db to a newer db version (maybe by using an updated version of XBMC on a Desktop with this DB) ... so xbmc from atv2 can't use it anymore because it doesn't support this new version.

Am I right?

This is the first time that I have attempted to configure XBMC w/MySQL. I figure that it is because the version of libmysqlclient that is being used by XBMC isn't compatible with my version of mysql-server.
