Hi, Jeffrey.  I just passed on to Colin a tip on the version 2 software 
that may enable you to work with that version (per Bob Durst: "the first 
time you run the daemon, you must run it with the "tidy" (-t) flag to 
ensure that the persistent state is clean and tidy").  If this does the 
trick, great!

If not, and given your very tight deadline, I would say to go ahead with 
DTN1.  The same architectural principles are being explored either way, and 
I think that's really what matters for this project.
