I was able to resolve this issue on a development box.
This is not related…but anyone viewing this should know that I left out some details in my post. If you do not understand JID please read the following…

Jabber ID
A Jabber ID or JID is the username or account name used to access a Jabber account. It usually take the form user@domain/resource, similar way to email addresses. The resource component enables a user to contact a particular access point logged into each account, e.g. user@domain.com/work and user@domain.com/home. The resource component is not necessary in order to contact a Jabber user.

Transports, agents, and other automated parts of the Jabber network may not have a user part to the JID. A common example would be the AIM transport, where the transport itself has a JID along the lines of aim.domain.com, and contacts on AIM would appear as screenname@aim.domain.com.

In a similar way to Sendmail, accessing other protocols is possible with Jabber transports. Users can then contact from a client such as MSN Messenger using the JID form user%msn.com@msn.jabberserver.com.

Jabber ID's may not contain certain characters, such as @, : (a colon), or " (a double quote).
