Got to say I've never experienced this before. I can confirm the smartcoin is working great in 0.2-final and I'm working with the author to add additional features to smartcoin/linuxcoin. More info to follow.
Thanks for the reply.
I am going to hold off on putting any more effort into SmartCoin until 0.2-final is released. I tried everything that I can think of to get SmartCoin working. It's a pretty strange problem considering I've purged sqlite3 and re-installed.
