This problem is a version mismatch between the venue server and venue 
client.  The venue client code you have is expecting clients and 
services in the venue state, but the server to which you are connecting 
(presumably vv2:9000)  is running beta3 code which does not include 
these in the venue state.  If you run a client and server from the same 
version of the code (both from beta3, say), they would be using the same 
definition of venue state, and this problem wouldn't occur.  You could 
do the same using cvs code, but then there are fewer guarantees.

If you can provide details on how to reproduce the problem, or text from 
exceptions that you saw, or .log files that captured details of the 
problem, we can debug it.  Ideally, of course, this info would be 
included with a bug report in bugzilla.

Thanks,
