iTunes has never been able to open libraries that've been used with newer versions of iTunes, so any version less than 10.5 won't be able to open a library used with version 10.5.
You may be able to delete the library file and rebuild by importing the XML file next to your old library.

You can export your playlist as an XML and then re-import it, but you'll lose some information in the process.

I had the same issues. Took it as a learning moment. Went back to 10.3, then when I felt adventurous again, I installed iTunes 10.5 on a separate machine which I use now to do my iOS 5 updates. That way, I keep my "normal" iTunes library separate (since I haven't updated my iPhone, I keep it sync'd with the 10.3 iTunes, and only sync the iPad with 10.5.)

i'm so sick of responses like that, just keep them to yourself. i know it's a beta, i know what machine i was installing it on, i knew all the risks.

I'd be more fine with it if people didn't keep complaining about how buggy beta software is. If you knew the risks, it shouldn't be any surprise that the software isn't functioning exactly as expected. I mean, I have the Uncharted 3 beta on my PS3. Am I complaining to Sony or on the boards that all the matches aren't working perfectly? No, because that's the nature of the beast.
