Management Reporter Installed and working with GP Legacy.
I'd rather use the Data Mart, however when I try to configure this with my connectivity information and requesting that it creat the DDM database nothing happens when I click Next.
If flashes quickly. Sits there for about 30 seconds, then crashes the program.
When I check the event log, I get a security error for SQL server (2008 R2) indicating that the SA account was unable to open the explicitly requested database. Further digging indicates that it appears to be trying to connect to the master database. Not that that matters. SA should have access to everything anyway.
Windows Authentication yields the same result.

It is supposed to be creating this database.
I've also tried creating a database named DDM using SQL Server Management Studio, giving my account and the service account dbo access and running again pointing to this database and still no joy.
The same process successfully created the ManagementReporter database so I know the account credentials are OK.
Even though this error seems to point to the master database, this error message is given when SQL server cannot find "the" database specified (i.e. any database specified that does not exist). I suspect it's complaining about not finding the DDM database. Check your deployment guide.
