I'm currently using 20080825 (latest ubuntu package), and Werner is on 
the svn bleeding edge - both seem to work with the current repo.  It's 
early days, and we are still experimenting with KiCad to work out how 
best to use it collaboratively - so there may be things we need to change.

Come over to the gta03 mailing list and we'll try to help with the 
specific problems you're having.
