GrowlMail broken in 10.4.8

GrowlMail (0.7.4) notifications stopped working recently on my 10.4.8 box. Preferences are all configured properly in PrefPane, and in Mail 'Growl' pref pane. Noticed two strange things:

1. In System Prefs > Growl > Apps, the list is empty.
2. When I install GrowlMail, it gets installed under /Library/Mail not ~/Library/Mail

I've tried uninstalling both, and re-installing, but same result. Anyone know what I might try?

Could you open Console.app in the Applications -> Utilities folder and see if there is any applicable output? This would help to narrow down what could be going on.

Where (which log file) and when (when I open mail? receive an email?) should I be looking in console?

Thanks for the help

Aha! Just saw the follwing in console. Can anyone explain the two instances?

Bump...anyone else having this problem?

Mail still will not show up under 'System Prefs > Growl > Apps.' However, other apps do show up there, and display notifications properly.
