Robert,
That is just what I did with a similar problem. Lost the
<@userreferenceargument> everywhere except when I submit the credit cards to
the gateway.
Since then I have had no session issues.
I also forced this tml file at when they hit the site it is based on Ians
presentation at the conference.
