I've installed the latest TileMill from the package sources yesterday (0.9.0), then modified the `/etc/tilemill/tilemill.config` to listen on `0.0.0.0` so we can access it on the network. Everything starts fine through the upstart job, but when creating new projects in TileMill, they look like this in the main projects UI:

When selecting one of them, I get a "Project does not exist" error:

![doesn't exist](http://f.cl.ly/items/1e22310U172p163c121O/Screen%20Shot%202012-02-14%20at%208.56.12%20AM.png)

But with the another one (with no layers or data added) I'm inexplicably seeing default data:

![default data empty project](http://f.cl.ly/items/180X1m0v381G0y1p1n2w/Screen%20Shot%202012-02-14%20at%209.06.55%20AM.png)

It feels like something's crossed up somewhere in the config. All permissions look proper - the mapbox user owns and has all the right perms on the `/usr/share/mapbox` and `/usr/share/tilemill` directories. Any ideas on how to trace the issue I'm having?
