Invalid data file - incorrect or damaged

I'm having a very similar issue to:



http://forum.agilebits.com/index.php?/topic/4527-unable-to-use-my-existing-keychain-with-a-new-computer/



I keep getting:

[b]Invalid Data File

Data File 'file://localhost/Users/paul/Dropbox/App Support/1Password/1Password.agilekeychain/' is incorrect or damaged. Please choose another file.[/b][list=1]

[*]I'm using Dropbox, but have tried moving my 1Password file out of it.

[*]I just did a clean install of Lion and I have no computer where this file is already working.

[/list]

Any idea how I can get to my 1Password file?

    Hi Joe,



    Welcome to the forums. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Sorry to hear about this. Can you please see if you can restore from an automatic backup using File > Restore Data File from Backup?

    I never made any backups from within 1Password (I wasn't aware you couldn't re-use 1Password files). Are you saying that I could restore from a backup from Time Machine? I could try that. Or are there backups hidden in my Dropbox somewhere?

    1Password creates the backups automatically. Time Machine may work as well.

    No backups show up in the list and I'm unable to choose the old 1Password file from Dropbox. (This is a totally fresh install of Lion on a freshly formatted drive.) I'll try Time Machine when I get home, I guess.

    I also get this when attempting to open the 1Password file:



    Exception: The encryption keys file does not exist at 'file://localhost/Users/jstump/Dropbox/1Password.agilekeychain/data/default/1password.keys'

    Oh man, I feel like an idiot (one could argue that I *AM* an idiot). It looks like the full 1Password directory hasn't sync'd down from Dropbox. So let's hold off on this until I get that totally synced.

    Sounds like a plan. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> We've all done it before.
