title: "Invalid ns" when connecting to mongodb server
body: <p>Im trying to connect to a MongoLabs mongodb server I setup for a small project Im working on. I can connect fine when connecting from my local machine, but when I try to make a connection from my Mediatemple server I get a 'Invalid ns' error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Unable to connect to MongoDB: Failed to connect to: dsXXXXXX.mongolab.com:27769: send_package: the query returned a failure: Invalid ns [XXXXXX_dev/XXXXXX_dev.$cmd] (code: 16256)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how to fix this would be a major help.</p>
