Of course, you are right - but the problem here is: my volinfo reads as 
follows

...

Replica0 id 0100004a, Server0 192.168.248.3

...

i.e, with a leading "0" , whereas getvolumelist prints:

Wdeguilla.0 I100004a H1 P/codaserver m0 M0 U2 W100004a C417386af D417386af B0 A32

!

would it be okay, if we simply removed any leading zeros?

Thanks,
Michael
