Since the script is being run from a document within the database 
(http://localhost:5984/sessions/index.html) it doesn't appear as though 
I need to provide the database name. The following script resulted in 
the same output:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
         
$.getJSON('/sessions/_design/sessions/_view/srcAddr?group=true', 
function(data) {
             $.log('list: ' + data)});
</script>

 From my understanding, here is the basic hierarchy. (I hope it renders 
okay)

sessions (db)
       |___ index.html
       |
       |___ _view
       |            |___ status
       |            |___ srcAddr
       |
       |___ _list
                     |___ sort
