Just my luck....finding a bug on my first real use of an API tool. So does anyone know the procedure to submit a bug, or get confirmation of a bug and then a fix?

This is just a guess, but it somehow looks like a method to tell the Admin Tool, which kind of container is meant by the references. Note that the reference to "20080527-CherylConversionFormChanges" has type => 6, which means only "container", so the Admin Tool doesn't know that it should display the entry as a packing list. Here's the constants from ar.h for the "dataType => 1" references: 32783 => ARREF_PACKINGLIST_GUIDE 32784 => ARREF_PACKINGLIST_APP 32785 => ARREF_PACKINGLIST_PACK 32792 => ARREF_PACKINGLIST_DSOPOOL 32793 => ARREF_PACKINGLIST_FILTER_GUIDE 32801 => ARREF_PACKINGLIST_WEBSERVICE To me it looks like packing lists have to be put directly after the "type => 32785" entry, filter guides after the "type => 32793" entry etc. This would mean that the Admin Tool mistakes the reference in the script-generated packing list for a web service. As I said, just guessing ...
