On Fedora qt-MySQL is neede for the frontend to be able to connect to the 
backend. If it's not there, I get exactly the same error messages you get. I 
don't know why qt-MySQL is not REQUIRED by the frontend rpm, but it is not.

In this case the error message in the frontend log is very misleading...
