Hi Mike,

Thanks - glad to hear it definitely works as expected!  Here's my
client.glance and client.volumes from 'ceph auth list':

client.glance
key: AQAWFi9SOKzAABAAPV1ZrpWkx72tmJ5E7nOi3A==
caps: [mon] allow r
caps: [osd] allow rwx pool=images, allow class-read object_prefix
rbd_children
client.volumes
key: AQAnAy9ScPB4IRAAtxD/V1rDciqFiT9AMPPr+A==
caps: [mon] allow r
caps: [osd] allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow rwx
pool=volumes

Thanks
Darren
