Error launching FCS Client on Lion

Currently have a FCS installation on OS X Server 10.6.8 (too afraid to try and upgrade to Lion and potentially mess everything up).

My problem is we have a few new MBPs in the group with Lion. The FCS client installs and launches just fine, but after putting in the user's password and trying to log in the FCS client crashes and the the following error is displayed: "Final Cut Server quit unexpectedly while using the libFinalCutServer.jnilib plug-in."

Anyone else experience this problem or know how to fix it? Might help to note that FCS is bound to our Windows Active Directory here.

Thanks in advance!

Xserve, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Final Cut Server 1.5.2

Since the FCSVR client wasn't updated for Lion (which made significant changes to Kerberos), AD integration is probably not going to work.

To confirm, you may want to switch back to Local/Open Directory authentication and test login with a local account on your server. Steps for switching the auth mode back are at the end of:

Dumb questions: Is your MacBook also bound to AD? Also, would adding authentication to your local keychain or at least saving that profile locally (Mobile Profile) help?
