Do you literally mean you've set up Interchange to use MySQL for your 
session database, that is, the "SessionDB" directive is in catalog.cfg?

Your error above is happening in UserDB, which is unrelated.

Apparently MySQL on Windows isn't handling the Unix seconds-since-1970 
epoch. You can disable time field updating altogether by changing this 
line in catalog.cfg:

    UserDB    default    time_field    mod_time

to:

    UserDB    default    time_field    none

Then your userdb entries will not have a timestamp showing when they were 
updated. You could change the mod_time field to be a "timestamp" type, 
which I think MySQL automatically updates.
