Just to note... I didn't run my server at all this afternoon (just a copy/paste version of it), and upon trying to load the original server, I received a serialization error, despite not receiving one the night prior, after repeated restarts w/ saves. As crazy as it sounds, essentially, the server "fried" while not being used.
I'm beginning to think it's Orb's SVN, and not these scripts. Doing a quick search pulls limited results, but each one of those results are directly related to this new SVN. Different systems, different users, same error.
