Chet you rock! That did it. If you ever run for something you have my vote :-)
The TALES examples and attributes in the admin guide don't say anything about "/here/hw/*" Is this info in a doc somewhere that I missed? Is there a list of what would be under "here/hw/" vs what would just be "here/"? This got me thinking that it should be fairly easy to pull together a screen scrape of the Dell site to create a report listing servers nearing warranty EOL. The data is all there; all that is left to do is format and report on it. However, I have to figure out what is causing my errors with Twisted first.
