TV Show Scrape Error

Hi again, hopefully my creating another topic isn't a problem.

Anyway, when I try to scrape the episodes for my tv shows I am getting this error:

Code:: Default TVDB Scraper Language is :- English
Default TVDB Scraper API Language Code is :- en
Default TVDB Scraper Episode Order Is Set At :- default
Overwrite Thumbnails Is :- False

Starting Scan For New TV Epsiodes

Actors to Be Scraped From TVDB
298 New Episodes Found

The Following episodes are in the queue:-

Found For TV Show :- Chuck, Episode :-g:\tv shows\Chuck\Season 2\Chuck - 2x22 - Chuck vs. the Ring.nfo
Season :- 2
Episode :- 22
URL For Episode :- http://thetvdb.com/api/6E82FED600783400/series/80348/default/2/22/en.xml
TVDB API Returned Valid XML

Error, exiting movie scraper

at System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.OnDoWork(DoWorkEventArgs e)

Any idea what the problem is with this?

::EDIT:: I jumped back to version 2.229 and am now getting this error:

Hopefully that might shed some light.

I'll upload this at some point tomorrow (Today actually (Tuesday)) it is later than I thought
