banshee not starting, throws exception

hey everyone,

today i realized whatever mirror my pacman was getting it's package lists from was all about old packages. i updated my mirrors and did a full system upgrade, and i think pretty much everything got updated. now, when i try to start banshee, i get this:

$ banshee-1

i don't even know where to begin to figure out what's not working here. i've tried a couple older versions of banshee, and that didn't fix it either. i looked into hyena and it's a part of banshee, i think. at least, i didn't find the standalone library installed. the only other thing that sticks out to me is the System.TimeZone thing. other than that, i have no ideas. has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know what might be happening here? thanks!
