whoami: cannot find username for UID 1000

[bspencer]

A simple question from a beginner.
Just setup my scratchbox environment. I followed the tutorial carefully. I added my user, setup my target, launched Xephyr, all without apparent error.

When I run: af-sb-init.sh start, I get errors such as:
whoami: cannot find username for UID 1000

I notice that the files all show ID 1000 instead of my user name. I saw a similar post from 2005 (http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=292) regarding this problem without resolution.

Thanks for any pointers.

Resolved:
I was missing a step of the installation which wasn't documented, namely to install additional files to the target.
Steps:
1) sb-menu
2) Install -- Install files to a target
3) Select target (e.g. SDK_PC)
4) I installed C-library, /etc, Devkits, fakeroot. You might only need /etc to get past this error, not sure.
