The problem is being caused by the join trying to create an 'A' record
and failing, this could be because there isn't anywhere to create the
record, windows 2000k/2003 dns ?
When the join fails it attempts to clean up, but then prints the error
(which has nothing to do with the initial error) because it is looking
for something that doesn't exist yet.
