Also, do you have BOINC 7.x installed? That is a requirement.

As stated, I have installed boinc 7.0.18. The boinc messages entries only show this whenever it tries to update:

2853 Poem@Home 2/24/2012 11:38:51 AM update requested by user
2854 Poem@Home 2/24/2012 11:38:55 AM Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
2855 Poem@Home 2/24/2012 11:38:55 AM Requesting new tasks for ATI
2856 Poem@Home 2/24/2012 11:38:57 AM Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
2857 Poem@Home 2/24/2012 11:38:57 AM No tasks sent

I can't edit the BPU from the edit menu to use exactly 2min 7 seconds as it always crashes. But it does allow me to edit the number in the main window by saying '2.12' for the time. That actually comes out to 2min 7secs. The log entries haven't changed.

I never see a message about backoff time for poem.
