Hi Sajjad, this looks like a known issue that will be fixed in the next
release. For now, you should be able to get around it: you need to let
pairtree know that your data folder is actually a pairtree repository,
by creating an empty file called pairtree_version0_1 inside the data
folder. By the data folder, I mean the directory that you've set as your
ofs.storage_dir. Then is should work

Let me know if that helps
