Problems with DVArchive Client

Hi Phil -

Thanks for doing this.

Unfortunately, I played with it for about 30 minutes - but I was unable
to get it work. Some of the issues I encountered:

	o DVAClient seemed to ignore the REPLAYLIST setting
	  that I placed in the DVAClient.roku shell script
	  It kept trying to use "dvarchive" as the host name.
	  It wouldn't locate my Replays. (Yes, everything was
	  entered into /tmp/hosts
	o Firing up a DVArchive on a PC and then trying to 
	  force DVAClient to read from that did nothing either.
	  DVAClient was constantly looking for access to the
	  server on port 8042... DVArchive itself has a bug
	  that was preventing me from changing the port to
	  anything other than 80... and DVAClient wouldn't
	  allow me to change from port 8042 to 80. So, no good
	  there.
	o Nothing was written to the /tmp directory. Nothing.
 	  Not the log from DVAClient or CinemaSix. (I resorted
	  to firing it from the command line)
	o It wouldn't fire from the onscreen icon. After a little
	  investigation, it was because it didn't seem to be 
	  accepting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, so it couldn't
	  find the .so library. (Could this be related to the 
  	  first point? It isn't reading from DVAClient.roku?)

I am on version 1.5.15 of the Roku OS.

Um...that's about it. Sorry man - I couldn't get it to go.
