Had problems with PCast reporting Error 500 as soon as I tried to create a PCast course; worked fine in Moodle 2.9 but I wasn't sure it there was a conflict with other modules.

First trial at duplicating problem

1. Installed a fresh Moodle 2.9 and installed the latest PCast plugin - worked fine
2. Upgraded to Moodle 3.0 using the documented method
3. Got Error 500 when trying to access the PCast course to add podcast

Second trial at duplicating problem

1. Installed a fresh Moodle 2.9 and immediately upgraded to 3.0
2. Installed latest PCast module and created the Pcast course
3. Got Error 500 when trying to access the PCast course to add podcast

My hosting provider (inmotionhosting.com) currently does not have a Moodle 3.0 install script so I'm unable to do a straight install.
