Alrighty... I think that did the trick. At least it points up where the problem is surfacing.

The real issue appears to be that the databaseKey parameter is empty, which is why you're getting that message text. For some reason the DatabaseManager isn't retrieving the correct value to send as that parameter.

I would suggest putting a breakpoint in the this method:

public virtual string GetSecurityDatabaseKey()

It's in mmDatabaseManager object (in mmDatabaseManager.cs of the Mere Mortals Framework solution). Hopefully, that will shed some light on why it's coming back blank.
