Can I see your "server.log". (pastebin / email / pm) Is your server public access? If so, what is the URL?

It should be a drop-in replacement. UUID support is not ready yet, but for 1.7.9 that is not a requirement, it's just going to be deprecated soon.

The mysql connector should not be needed for recent versions of bukkit.

2. Perhaps If I added an option to transfer blocks owned by a certain user to another user? Currently using /wtransfer <username>, all blocks in a world-edit selection can be transferred to a user, and with "/wtransfer" (no arguments), blocks can be removed from the database. I could add /wtransfer <old user> <new user>, that will transfer the blocks to <new user> only if they are owned by <old user>.
5. I use /wdeleteplayer <username> all the time. Very often I will "/wdeleteplayer enigma617", because I don't want any of my own blocks to be in the database.
6. I have actually considered the radius feature, but the problem is performance. If block-breaks and block-places take X amount of time for watchblock to process and the radius is R, the amount of increase in time is roughly X*R^3, so if the radius is 3, it will take roughly 27 times longer, if the radius is 5, that's 125 times longer, it could really take a toll, especially with lots of users. Now that somebody has requested it, I probably will add it, but with a big warning on changing it from "1".

It is not a SQLite database. It is a custom format that indeed has changed since the original BlockProtection.
