You were right!
The DB was installed as root, and I was trying to start it as a
different user. D'oh! ;)

The server runs now, however, I just tried running the client and it
came up with the following error:

This must be a classpath error (note: at present my classpath variable
is empty). Do you know off-hand what the proper classpath should be?

Cheers!
