    from what I've found, this has to do with a new param that Blizz released in 4.1 with the combat log called hideCaster. Not sure what it does, but I was able to modify the MSBTParser.lua file with 3 lines added to get things working. Might be best to make a back up copy in case things get worse, but these lines got me back up and running.

    HTH

    1. around line 320 added where the `--Populate fields` comment is
    parserEvent.sourcehideCaster = hideCaster
    2. around line 345 where the `--Parses the parameter...` comment is
    local function ParseLogMessage(timestamp, event, hideCaster, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, recipientGUID, recipientName, recipientFlags, ...)
    this just adds the hideCaster param to the string
    3. around line 386 added
    parserEvent.sourcehideCaster = hideCaster
