Clearly. :) I see that I have added aniversaries to the previous v2 database and v3 does not appear to like that. I will remove those, but I don't think that is the main issue. >> I should note, in case it matters, that I am sharing a .bbdb file >> between two instances of Emacs at once.

I have started Gnus now from within the Org instance of Emacs, so it should be shared ok. Clearly this is an impractical solution for the long-run. Thus far, I am receiving the same errors as before. I wonder if it would be possible to tell Gnus to use one instance of .bbdb and Org/general emacs another?
