	When I go to the toolkit page, it reads:

Snapshot mode
The storage is currently in snapshot mode recombining/startup.

	I then tried to navigate to:

http://leafe.com/DSToolkit/leave_snapshot?code=recombining/startup

but got a Zope error message:

Site Error

An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

Resource not found

Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.
Check the URL and try again.
Resource: http://leafe.com/DSToolkit/leave_snapshot


I also tried:

http://leafe.com/DirectoryStorageToolkit/leave_snapshot? 
code=recombining/startup

but got a similar message. The toolkit is named 'DSToolkit' in the ZMI.

	How would I be able to tell if this is the case? And if so, what  
steps would I take?
