Running manage.py index causes Exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Whenever I run python manage.py index I get the following error.  I've set up 
my DJAPIAN_DATABASE_PATH.  Also, when i try to search for a keyword the entire 
program stalls.

Traceback (most recent call last):

More information.  I'm using this with DjangoBB.

Also, in the shell I see, does this mean anything:
Installed spaces/models/indexers:
- 0: `global`
  - 0.0: `djangobb_forum.Post`
    - 0.0.0: `djangobb_forum.index.postindexer`

Try to use absolute path in DJAPIAN_DATABASE_PATH setting.
