You running the opengarden version or the mindtouch COTS version?
Which install did you do?

BTW, What are you paying to have your Linux server running on the
cloud? I have yet to look at that. I have most of my remote stuff on
DH and they hawk "cloud" but for static files only... Looking at a
way to move Moodle to something more robust than DH offers (something
is always dying over there)
