It certainly sounds like one of the machines has updated while the
other is still running an older version but you can easily confirm it by
comparing the version numbers in the title of rdairplay (or rdadmin).
Normally when the database is upgraded, the database is backed up to
the user directory. Have a look for that on the laptop in your home
directory (I forget where it stores by default).
Once you have found that and confirmed the versions being different
there are two things you can do.
Turn off the laptop and import the old database so the on air machine
is back to normal (will require downtime of a few minutes to run a mysql
import e.g. mysql -u rduser -pletmein Rivendell <
path_to_backup_db.sql).
The downside is you won't be able to use the laptop until you update
the on air machine.
The second option is to use yum or whatever tools you are using to
update the playback machine and reboot (or kill the daemons). This way
at least you can continue to use both machines.
I've not had issues in the past with a Riv update but anything is
possible with package updates on a machine so be prepared for down time.
Once you're done consider using your distro tools to hold any updates
to Rivendell or simply turn off auto updates if these are not general
use machines.

More information:
I didn't give you enough information. I've gotten past
the first shock, so I'll try to make better sense.
I have two machines involved. One is the playback machine
which is in current operation. The 2nd machine is a laptop.
I have the laptop set up to use the database on the playback
machine remotely. I usually build my logs from the laptop.
I can bring up RDLibrary on the laptop but not on the
playback/database machine. I can try the other tools, but
I've been building logs and such with no problems from the laptop.
RDAirplay is running on the playback machine, we are on the air.
I am trying to run RDImport, RDLibary, etc. on the playback machine
and they fail.
I'm thinking I maybe have a newer version on the laptop and it
has updated my MySQL database, bumping out the playback machine
from being able to use the tools. ?
Any advice on that? I am inclined to think that a short downtime
on the playback machine with an update will do the job but
I don't want to go off the air unless I have a good idea
of a way forward... at least not at this moment, maybe early
tomorrow morning.

I've been running since July 10th without any kind of reboot,
everything working fine.
Today I go to load up some stuff into the library with RDImport
and it is giving me an audio converter error.
So then I try to bring up RDLibrary and various other tools
and I'm getting a database mismatch statement.
I'm thinking somehow my database automatically updated itself?
Ok, so how do I fix this? Will a reboot do it?
I really don't want to reboot if I don't have to.
