Arnar - Thank you for taking time to address my issue, I really do appreciate it! Yes, the documentation isn't very clear on the requirement of having the id look a certain way - I suppose if you stare at it long enough it could be inferred from the docs, but for someone using it for the first time it seems a bit cryptic; once one has knowledge of how it works, the docs seem to more clearly allude to the need for it.
Thanks again!
