Problem setting up registry.py

I've been trying to set up the registry.py plugin. I've run into a number of
problems. First is, I can't get my setup to validate when executing
pyblosxom.cgi directly. I set the three variables in my config.py. 

#registry

py["registry_dir"] = "/arpa/hm/j/johnsu01/html/downloads/"
py["registry_edit"] = 0
py["registry_default_flavour"] = "html"

But when I run ./pyblosxom.cgi, I get FAIL!! as the response from registry.py,
with no error explanation.

The registry_dir exists and has the correct permissions. 

I created the templates in my datadir, though they are empty files at the
moment. But for all of the template files named in the comments at the top of
registry.py, template.html exists as an empty file with the correct
permissions. I'm not sure, BTW, what these template files are supposed to look
like inside.

By "correct permissions" I mean the same permissions that are working for the
rest of my site.

Should the plugin validate? Any ideas what is wrong? This is still with 1.0; I
haven't yet upgraded.
