Arma 2/OA - DayZ connection issues - Man in Green T-shirt and Pink Pants

I am currently having issues with my DayZ Mod for Arma2/OA.

What's basically happening is that the game will load with all the mods correctly enabled, but when I go and try to join a server, I get disconnected with an error saying that I have extra files, that I am missing files, or to the point to where it freezes at trying to make my character.
