Yeah - When I said "that specific error went away" - it was because I was getting another error in its place which I mistook for progress. I'm back (on a fresh install) to getting the same error as you. Here's my ForgeModLoader-server-0 pastebin: http://pastebin.com/BRitrvcX 1. Cleared Out Directory on Server 2. Downloaded latest minecraft_server.1.6.2.jar from minecraft website - saved on server. 3. Downloaded latest universal forge from this site - saved on server 4. Cleared Out .minecraft folder on client 5. Downloaded and installed latest 1.6.2 from Majong servers - ran it once. 6. Downloaded and installed latest forge installer from this site and installed client - ran it once 7. Copied libraries subfolder from client to server 8. java -jar minecraftforge-universal-1.6.2-9.10.0.779.jar 9. Got error Checksums (sha1sum) 01b6ea555c6978e6713e2a2dfd7fe19b1449ca54 minecraft_server.1.6.2.jar 39b82a387af3b5f525bdb5efc3d07d91cea65616 minecraftforge-universal-1.6.2-9.10.0.779.jar 80fe2fdebd54aa842a7e83561fb17391e41f91f8 libraries.tar (tarball of the libraries folder)

I was getting that error - the libraries subfolder was from the previous client version. I updated that and the specific error went away.
