InvalidSearchFilterException

[jriker1]

I recently decided to upgrade my Alfresco environment from OpenSUSE 11.1 to 11.3.  Followed my instructions that I did on the 11.1 box exactly.  Copied all my appropriate files from one box to another and named the new box identical to the old and yes I turned off the old box.  Everything goes fine on startup except on issue I can't answer for the life of me.  Get the following error:

20:49:26,059 User:System ERROR [security.sync.ChainingUserRegistrySynchronizer] Synchronization aborted due to error

Everything is identical to before other than the updated OS.  Betweenthe two versions we are talking about a minor revision diff in java of 1.6.0_18 to 1.6.0_22.

Any input would be appreciated.

For those reading this, please stay away from Alresco 3.4.a and Sun Java 1.6.0_22.  It has a bug in the LDAP component apparently.  I removed it and inistalled 1.6.0_20 which is referenced in the release notes and everything was golden.
