4 Loaded metadata pickle.

31 Now here's the great part. If I remove
32 /var/cache/edb/remote_metadata.pickle, everything works great. But,
33 if I try it again the next time, it fails with the above errors. Then
34 I remove the remote_metadata.pickle again, and it works. Any clues on
35 this one? It looks like it's having some sort of active FTP problem
36 perhaps? But why would it work when I remove the pickle, but not
37 afterwards? This is just very bizarre to me. Does it not use active
38 FTP the first round or something?

40 All I've got to say, is that really weird things are happening, LOL.
