I have experienced the same behavior. I'm running 64 bit Vista and SQL server 2005. This is the command I used: conn = database('bunge', '', ''). Although it's difficult to tell with this font, they are the ordinary single apostrophes.
I'm using windows authentication so leave user and password blank. Any help would be appreciated.
