Puppet users - Nov 2010 - Dashboard throwing undefined method `to_time' for nil:NilClass error on page view

Using 1.0.4 release on Solaris 10 with Ruby 1.8.7.
Starting the server in production mode works fine until I request a
page from the web browser then I get the following errors on the
console. I''m running as user puppet (have also tried as user root but
same output). All files are owned by user/group puppet/puppet.
I have dropped and recreated the database multiple times just to see
if that was the issue.
I have removed the dashboard software and reinstalled it multiple
times to double check that I didn''t mess something up.
I have no data in the DB just whatever would be there after the rake
migrate steps in the readme.
The rake migration steps run to completion without error so I know the
mysql connector is setup and working properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have figured out that an empty database allows the dashboard to work
without failure but as soon a report from a node is added the whole
thing breaks with the to_time errors.

Clients and master are running Puppet 2.6.3.
