[ZendTo] Database failure writing authentication key

[Jules]

Delete any /var/zendto/zendto.sqlite file.
Reboot your server.
In a web browser, go to the home page of your ZendTo site.
You should now have a /var/zendto/zendto.sqlite file again.

That really should fix it.

I'm assuming you installed it all using the ZendTo Installer. What are 
you running it on?
If it doesn't fix it, send us the output of "ls -al /var/zendto".

Cheers,
Jules.
