Oh, I forgot that part. The queries actually worked after the installation, but after restarting the server, they stopped working.
The error in the log was something along the lines of (from memory):
parse error at or near "*"
and I naturally concluded that the "*" was coming from "{*SQL*}" (i.e. the query wasn't being found).
Let me know if you need the "real" error and I'll re-install it and reproduce it :)
BTW, I installed OpenACS from HEAD.
