hmmm ... a few things you might try to get it working:

1. delete the .dssi-vst folder and let them be scanned-in again.

2. if you've installed a different version of wine since installing 
dssi-vst, then you could try recompiling it and see if that helps.

3. check that you don't have more than one installation of dssi or 
dssi-vst (ie check both /usr and /usr/local).

i think i remember getting the same error a while back ... you should 
also make sure you're using the latest versions of dssi, dssi-vst, om etc.

hope this helps
