New description:

 I am using Pidgin 2.4.1, and my operating system is Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy
 Heron).

 When I try to add a certain buddy to my list, I get the following error
 message:

 '''''Unable To Add'''''

 '''''Could not add the buddy '''''[buddy's screen name]''''' for an
 unknown reason.'''''

 The Debug Window reads:

 ''(17:11:17) oscar: ssi: adding buddy ''[buddy's screen name]'' to group
 ''[group name]

 ''(17:11:17) oscar: ssi: status is 0x0010 for a 0x0008 action with name no
 item''

 ''(17:11:17) oscar: ssi: Action 0x0008 was unsuccessful with error
 0x0010''

 Please note that wherever there is text [between brackets], the actual
 text was the buddy and group names, which I have hidden for privacy.  The
 brackets were not present in the actual text.

 I have verified with this person that they have not blocked me, but they
 were away from their computer and could not verify whether they could see
 me on their list.

 Update: Now I look at the group, and there are four instances of the buddy
 in that group where I tried to add the buddy.  (I must have tried to add
 the buddy four times.)  So, the buddy is on the list, but does not operate
 properly.

 Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!
