From the seti-site:

We found and fixed the no results bug. It was a malformed embedded
SQL query. But we are leaving the scheduler off overnight to let the
transitioner work through it's backlog. The transitioner works a
great deal faster with a small backlog and we hope yesterday's
changes will go a long way in preventing a large backlog from
recurring.

What does the transitioner actually do?

"Transitioner

This program is supplied by BOINC and is application independent. It
handles state transitions of workunits and results. It generates
initial results for workunits, and generates more results when
timeouts or errors occur. It has the command-line option:

-mod n i

If present, this instance of the transitioner will handle only
workunits for which mod(id, n) = i. This lets you run arbitrarily
many instances of the transitioner."
