I've managed to hack around the problem in one direction (remote user 
subscribing to a livejournal user) by sending a directed 'available' 
presence immediately before the 'subscribe' presence, to let djabberd 
know that the remote user is available. However, this solution doesn't 
work in the other direction (livejournal user subscribing to a remote user).

Cheers,
