1.  Using */blog and */blog/marvin doesn't work.  That's my handle and 
the admin account.
2.  I created a test user account and I *could* access it via */blog/test.
3. On the test user I was able to change the theme to all different 
themes for that user.

*I think the theme is the problem*.  It doesn't appear to be picking up 
the theme for my admin account.  When I hit the weblog theme editor for 
the test user, it shows the correct name and allows me to modify it.  
But, when I use the admin account, it says this:
/
//Your current theme is: //*custom*//using the //Shared Theme//default 
stylesheet. /

The screenshot is also a dead link.  As far as I know, I never tried 
changing the theme before hand so it should be one of the defaults. I 
just tried updating the weblog.editortheme value manually in the 
database and that still doesn't change behavior

Some interesting notes:

1.  I used lynx to initially set up roller since I was on a headless 
machine.  I recall seeing some odd looking scripting at the first theme 
creation that didn't allow me to modify the value. *I think this where 
the bug started*.  If you know how to manually fix this from SQL, I can 
try that first.
2.  I looked inside the rollerdb and noticed that my handle has 'en' for 
local and 'en_US' for the test user.  This appears in both the 
*roller_user* and *weblog* tables.

Again, thanks for all the help!
