Boy .. how embarrassing .. I must've taken a stupid pill or something
this morning. The problem I was having is that my top level container
was called 'status' but each of these containers also has a 'status'
attribute thus when I was trying to access the root container I kept
getting the 'status' attribute of my current folder ... I guess I'll
have to pick better names to avoid these sorts of clashes in the
future.
Thanks for bringing me back to reality ...
