Are you running the Mugshot client, in addition to being signed into the 
web site?

This error seems to suggest it is not running.  Try executing 'mugshot' 
from a command launcher.
Or perhaps you are using a very old version?

Yeah, I see now how this bug would occur if the client was not running.  
We should handle this
better in the near future; Havoc is doing some work to ensure that Big 
Board can talk to the Mugshot
server without requiring the Mugshot client UI (with the notifications).
