Hey Jane,
Looked briefly at the code, your current version won't handle having
multiple groups.  For me that would be a deal breaker.  The ability to
assign to multiple groups helps keep large system collections organized.
Using the cvs.reader function means you're unable to read arbitrarily long
sets which is why I parsed through the data myself.

As for the problems surrounding collectdevice, that was why I had multiple
commits and a find between them.  I believe you're correct that timing of
when things appear in the database etc is why adding multiple items fail,
and the way I was able to get around the problem was to have multiple
commits, and having to find the device you've just created. Those extra
steps shouldn't be necessary, but they are...

Commit is supposed to write any changes you've made back to the zendmd
database.  Without a commit, you're working with a copy of the data, and
nothing you do will get written to the database.

If you learn about and use regular expressions, they are very powerful tools
that are useful in MANY places.  I'd suggest perhaps starting with my code
and then adding things that you want from Jim's code...
