Error Code 54

I successfully e-filed my federal 1041. I get an Error Code 54 when I attempt to file my 541 with California State.

The Error Code pop-up states that my Turbotax software is not up to date, and that updating the software will solve the problem. Upon checking for updates, I am told that I have the latest version.

I called Turbotax support but the individual kept thinking that I was using an on-line product and needed to clear my cache...

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Did you ever manage to get you CA 541 e-filed? I am currently in the same situation federal went through but keep getting error code 54 for the state.
