I don't see where you tried to run "clone".

The error message is almost clear; you did not tell mtn what database to
pull _to_; you only told it what database to pull _from_.
_if_ mtn is run in a workspace, it uses the defaults specified in
_MTN/options. But your 'pull' command is not in a workspace; it is in
~/mtn/ooncd, the workspace is in ~/mtn/ooncd/th
So you need:
mtn -d ~/mtn/ooncd/ooncd pull mtn://127.0.0.1:8990/ooncd
or:
cd th
mtn pull mtn://127.0.0.1:8990/ooncd

You can always use either; '-k<name>' is short for '--key=<name>'.
