Problems with Spotify 1.0.2.6 client on OS X

This app worked flawlessly until I upgraded my Spotify client to 1.0.2.6. While it recognizes that the server is there and loads my playlists, thats pretty much all it does. It doesnt show the current song playing and it doesnt let you play a song. The same behavior occurs with Spot Remote so I assume Spotify did something in their latest release to break these remote apps.
