Trying to use Flock With Movable Type

Movable Type - Flock Community:

"When setting up a Movable Type blog in Flock you might encounter an error near the end of the wizard that says 'There was and error detecting your blog settings'..."

Lately, I have been all about trying new Web 2.0 apps and such (PageFlakes and News Alloy are the two most noteworthy of these). So, it should come as no surprise that I have also been checking out "browsers" that claim the ability to combine many of the features I have been enjoying: blogging, tagged bookmarking, aggregating, etc. Tonight I decided to take Flock for a spin. No offense to you Flockers, but what a let down.

First, I am no newbie to any of this. I use Mars Edit to do most of my blogging now when I am at home. I didn't have any problems setting this up with my MT blogs. However, despite perusing bug reports, forums and comment sections, I could not get my Movable Type install working with Flock for the life of me. Hopefully Flock makes this an easier transition for MT users before they go public. I spent the entire evening trying every tip and hint I could mine from Google, and all I can say is, "What the Flock?!?!"

I give up. It's time for bed.

UPDATE: Spent my entire morning trying to connect to my blog through Flock... still nothing. I can connect and post to my blog through Flickr, Mars Edit, etc., no problem, but Flock will simply not let me log in.
