Dean,
IIRC, this is an error in the config file. Can you check your
default.ini and make sure you have these three bits:
[daemons]
external={couch_external_manager, start_link, []}
[httpd_db_handlers]
_external = {couch_httpd_external, handle_external_req}
[external]
action={"/path/to/couchjs /path/to/server/action.js", 1}
At least, I'm fairly certain that's what was causing that error for me.
