Exactly which beta did you install?  We've had a few recently: <http://boren.nu/

We're expecting to make the 2.6 release today (assuming no major  
issues show up) and the current error message when XML-RPC is disabled  
is:

"XML-RPC services are disabled on this blog.  An admin user can enable  
them at %s"

Where %s is the URL you need to go to enable XML-RPC.
