Colin Just realized who you are!! Aren't email addresses wonderful!! Hope all is well with you.
I got this from the development group: "It does respond to the uci property however there is a problem in that on the client in checks that the uci and volgrp are three characters, this means that it can not swap to any namespace that is not three characters long. The simple workaround is to issue a 'ZN namespace' command as the first thing the server routines do." As a suggestion, how bad would it be to switch to 3 character namespace names?
