I'm doubtful you will get much help on the mailing lists for something like this unless you are much more detailed in describing your environment and usage - at the least I am unable to provide much further help myself. On-list trouble shooting is difficult and given the version of the (unnamed) software involved likely few people will want to try. If you cannot upgrade the client driver to match the server you should at least try and enumerate what kinds of things you have changed and try and narrow down whether this is a client, server, or machine specific issue. Searching the source code for where this error is thrown (likely server but maybe client) would be a good start. Someone familiar with the codebase may be able to handle that particular request though I am not currently setup to do so.
