Okay, fair enough.

Along with the errors I posted earlier (related to Postgres), I also 
noticed that when I try to access the scheduler_worker table I get the 
following error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not sure if the errors are related but perhaps it can offer a clue to 
what's going on. Any thoughts?
