[Solved] Enemy Territory Punk Buster kicking me from servers

Has anyone tried playing ET in pb enabled servers recently?  I just tried a fresh install from AUR and it seems that I keep getting kicked with the message:

Server Disconnected - Punkbuster kicked
player 'jb' (for 2 minutes) ...
violation (GAME INTEGRITY) #20004

running et-pbupdate didn't seem to correct the problem, nor did going in as root to /opt/enemy-territory/pb and running pbweb.x86 from there, then from my local pb directory as me.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

That's a fairly old problem thought...

Maybe it'll help: help from the ubuntus.

Cool, that seemed to do it; marking as solved.  For the benefit of anyone else that manages to run into this same problem, I'll spell it out here since there's a lot of competing suggestions floating around that, at least for me, failed to solve the problem:

1. pacman'd upx *
2. downloaded the pbsetup for 32-bit Linux Games (GUI version) from here.
3. ran upx -d pbsetup.run
4. ran ./pbsetup.run as root
5. added Enemy Territory with the path /opt/enemy-territory and updated
6. copied /opt/enemy-territory/pb to ~/.etwolf/pb and corrected the ownership and permissions so my user has ownership and read-write permissions on everything in the local pb directory.
7. ran the game and enabled punkbuster.

It gave some initial notice of a guid mismatch in the first server I connected to, but I haven't seen it since.

* I happened to have lib32-libpng12 from AUR installed.  It may be necessary to run the gui client.
