EB-Lite Usage

So,

I am trying to get Senility (my gnome IM client), working with eb-lite.]
However, I can't seem to create accounts (or actually debug the
problem). I get an Illegal seek error, whenever I try to send the
command to add an account. Is there any way I can debug this better?
The command set I am sending is { "add_local_account", "user", "Yahoo" }
so that I can test adding/removing of accounts with my GUI before I try
to make it do fancy stuff, like actually log in. Thanks.
