Thanks for the help Eloy.  After reading your comments and trying some of them, I discovered what was necessary.
First I used "N6Z$payload_length".  Second, I change the call to _ToServer to this:

    $self->_ToServer($path,length($payload)+1, $msg_write, $value_length, 0, $payload);

All of this code was a direct port from OWNet.pm (owfs).  I noticed that the _ToServer read calls had length($payload)+1
but the writes did not.  Using +1 on writes solved my problem.  This might be a bug with owfs OWNet.pm too, but for some
reason it works outside of misterhouse with direct use of OWNet.pm

In any event, I fell comfortable with these fixes and solve my problem.

Jim
