I haven't heard of that one exactly.  I thought you could create FS
projects regardless of the FS backend being installed.  This is a bug in
the WebUI.

If it really is empty you can probably just change it in the DB.
Change it from a file:// URL (like
"file:///var/lib/opengroupware.org/fs/9303330") to a skyrix url (like
"skyrix://yannigan-white.mormail.com/morrisonOGo/") and make
sure /var/lib/opengroupware.org/documents/9303330 exists and is owned by
ogo:skyrix.

i'll give that a try myself when I get a chance.

Bug is probably in OGoFileManagerFactory

as WebUI/Project/LSWProject/LSWProjectEditor.m does
....
- (BOOL)_ensureProjectBase {
  if ([self->projectBase length] == 0) {
    if (![self hasMoreThanOneProjectBases]) {
      [self logWithFormat:
              @"Note: autoselecting FileSystem storage for new
project"];
      self->projectBase = @"FileSystem";
    }
    else {
      // TODO: labels!
      [self setErrorString:@"Please specify your project storage!"];
      return NO;
    }
  }
  return YES;
}
...
which doesn't seem to really work.  But it looks like setting a default
to initialize the projectBase attribute would probably be easy enough.
