	I got the exact same problem you did Eric... I found out why after 
a while... And (in my case) it's a really stupid thing... the host was 
installed from scratch with a distro. By some automated stuff the hostname
appeared on /etc/hosts like:

127.0.0.1 myhostname.domain.com myhostname localhost localdomain

So... whenever you ran the tool it connected to 127.0.0.1, not finding the 
file it was trying to access... (this behavior is controlled at 
/etc/host.conf, that usually is 'order hosts,bind').

It didn't tryied even to resolve the name through the DNS server... 
Solution: remove it from /etc/hosts.

Hope this is your case... if not, please report it and how to solve it...
