While Tuukka's advice with regards to getting the current BaseTen  
version working is good, this state of affairs  generally is not. We  
have not designed BaseTen Assistant to be an end-user utility, and the  
same obviously goes for any command-line tool intended for the same  
tasks.

Having BaseTen-using applications require non-standard backup/recovery  
steps was not an intended consequence of the 1.6 changes, and we're  
going to see whether we can retain 1.6's performance and reliability  
improvements without this extra burden on administrators.

Thanks for your patience here,
