'django-manage.py sqlall auth'/'python manage.py syncdb' keeps trying to install tables

[anonymous]

This is really bizarre, and hopefully there's a simple answer I've missed. Each time I try to run 'python manage.py syncdb' to update the app's tables, it tries to create the tables for the auth module. Even though they're already created. I've poured through the source, and can't figure out what the problem is.

The error message suggests running 'django-manage.py sqlall auth', which I do. But all it does is output the commands to create the tables used by auth, which it shouldn't be doing. It's not giving me any hints why it doesn't see that the app is already installed.

This is on RHEL 3.0, using Python 2.4 and Django 0.95. The db is MySQL 5.0.26.
