James,

It appears that you are trying to load the RevDB valentina driver as  
an external which won't work.  If you want to use the Valentina  
external itself you need to download it from the  
www.paradigmasoft.com.  Valentina 2 has instructions for  
installation.  If you want to use the Valentina 1 external you can  
put that into the:

~/Documents/My Revolution Studio/Externals/

folder and the next time you launch rev the external will be  
available in the Revolution development environment.  To check type  
this in the msg box:

put the externalPackages of stack "home"

and you should see Valentina XCMD (or something like that) in the  
result.
