I removed OpenSim.Data.Tests.dll from the opensim/bin directory.  Still
getting the same error.

I wondered if maybe it was some other Test dll, so I moved all of the files
with *Test* out of the opensim/bin directory, and still got the same error.

So, is there something else I can do to get around the MySQL problem?
I tried using SQLLiteLegacyStandalone.ini and I seemed to get further, but
it gave me an error about failing to load plugin
OpenSim.Data.IXInventoryData  I tried tweaking SQLLiteLegacyStandalone.ini
but without any luck.

Also, when I am running an OpenSim region, do I need the test files?
Especially if I'm trying to run a pared down version on a mobile device?
