podcast jobs failing

I've configured a 10.6.3 server (on a Parallels Server VM) for testing podcast producer. I configured it from the very beginning with a static IP and DNS. i ran all software updates and confirmed dns was working with 'changeip -checkhostname'.

i then activated the Podcast service and let it do it's auto config. i then added a local user to LDAP/127.0.0.1.

i tried a test video podcast from a 10.6.3 client using the acct i created above and it uploaded the video. i watched it attempt to process with Xgrid Admin but it failed.

everything i've read makes it sound like as long as dns is working, just let it auto configure, and everything should be all dreamy. i'd gone through this setup from the very beginning, starting from a fresh installation, and i've yet to see it work.

any ideas?

why does it refer to user "admin" below? that acct doesn't exist that i know of.

"Unable to resolve admin user: admin"

I've cleared up the "admin" error by changing the ‘Administrator Short Name’ within Podcast Producer>Settings>Properties. No documentation for any 'how to' mentioned this.

but it's still not working....
