Is there a way to turn on logging to identify where the error is occurring?

Do you have any punctuation character in the connection ?

Do you have any punctuation character in the connection name?
[20 May 2011 1:15] Cris Simpson 
I did.  There was a '/' in the connection name. Removing it fixed the problem.
