I had the same problem when I set up trn.  The problem was that
the machine name I was using was "Virginia.EDU" and the machine
name trn was looking for was "virginia.edu".  Apparently trn
is case sensitive about these things.  It would have been
a pretty simple hack to make trn case insensitive if I'd known
C, but I don't, so I changed our machine name to all lowercase.
