Oops. Thanks for reporting this.

This is happening because we changed the appname to 'tahoe-lafs-ticket798'
(for the beta only), and changed all references in the code, but forgot
that there were references in previously generated .tac files:

<http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1159>

For the time being, please use trunk instead for beta testing. Note that
node directories generated with the beta release will be incompatible with
trunk and vice-versa.

[note to self: open tickets against setuptools/zetuptoolz/distribute
to actually "put more info here".]

> pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: allmydata-tahoe
