Ryan, Thanks for responding. Was starting to wonder if my messages were making it to the mail list.
Yes I'm using appdata for a userpref store. Regardless of whether that is the right approach or not, the rpc call still seems like it should be using the gadget security token instead of the container one. I think I understand why it does what it does since the rpc handler is in the container context and not gadget. Any help is appreciated. I must be doing something wrong because this just seems like too glaring of a bug.
