Help with barnyard.

["Chhabria, Kavita - Apogent" <kchhabria () apogent com>]

Hello everyone:
 
I am trying to configure barnyard-0.1.0 to work with snort-2.0.1 and I am
getting an error message saying "Unable to open spool file....Exiting" when
I run barnyard.
 
I start barnyard at the command line using the following command-line
options:
 
barnyard -c /root/barnyard-0.1.0/etc/barnyard.conf -d /var/log/snort  \
-f unified_snort.log.1065623999 -L /var/log/barnyard \
-g /etc/snort/gen-msg.map -s /etc/snort/sid-msg.map
 
When I look at the /var/log/snort directory, there is a file called
unified_snort.log.1065623999.  So, anyone, please tell me what possibly can
be the cause of the above error message.
 
Also, to let everyone know I have configured the snort.conf file to have the
following line
 
output log_unified: filename unified_snort.log, limit 128
 
Anyone have any ideas or thoughts or suggestions?
 
Thanks,
