[mh] MH - CM11A weirdness

Apologies if you get this twice, Gmail was having issues over the weekend, and it didn't seem like this one made it to the list, so I'm trying to resend from a different server.

Hey guys, first post to the list, although I will admit to lurking for quite awhile. 
I've been following Misterhouse for a couple years, and finally had the chance to get going with it after my recent move in March.

I want to say that what you guys are doing is amazing.  The code, documentation, and this list have all been incredibly helpful to me in getting this stuff going.
 
So far I've gotten everything I've played with working no problem (with one exception, see below).  It's great how ready to run out of the box MisterHouse is.  You guys deserve a medal or something :)

Anyways, the one issue I've had is with my CM11A (big surprise, judging from the number of issues on this list about it, eh?)
The problem I'm having in a nutshell is this:  MH can see x10 stuff happening, but can't seem to do any x10'ing (that a verb? is now, I suppose) itself.

More detail:

I set the device in mh.private.ini:

...
cm11_port=COM1
...

MH detects the device and sets up an object

...
 - creating cm11            object on port COM1
...

..But when I try to toggle a light (for example):

...
X10: interface=cm11a isfunc=0 save_unit=XA8 data=XA8

Error, X10 interface not found: interface=cm11a, data=XA8
X10: interface=cm11a isfunc=1 save_unit=XA8 data=XAK

Error, X10 interface not found: interface=cm11a, data=XAK
...

The CM11A works fine with the activehome software.

MisterHouse reads any incoming X10 commands from the CM11A just fine (ie: using an RF remote, or thinline switch, maxicontroller, etc) and updates the state of an item correctly, so I know it's reading and accessing the serial port just fine.

a link to the test_x10 output is pasted to the end of this email (didn't want to spam the list with it, as it's long).

For the record, I have a reasonable amount of perl experience.  I'm comfortable mucking around with source.
I am running MH on a WinXP system (although I had the same problem on a different box running Windows Server 2003 - Tried both to make sure it wasn't a serial port issue).
 
I've narrowed my problem down to three possibilities;
1) My CM11A is bad (I hope not, it's less than 2 months old)
2) I have a configuration or source problem somewhere that I'm missing
..or
3) I have absolutely no idea what the heck I'm doing and should probably sell my computer and go work on a farm instead. :)

Any ideas, please let me know (on the list or off).  I've done quite a bit of searching this list and google.  I found one other person who described a similar problem, but a solution was never posted to the list (that I was able to find, anyways).

If any more information is needed, just ask, I'm generally pretty quick with the replies during work hours.
Thanks again for all the help so far (the comments in the code, documentation, and this list have gotten me everything else I wanted so far set up.. including multiple Audrey's serving music and CID info around the house, which is just fun).  Any help anyone could offer to help me out with this (even if it's just a link I missed to an old message my searching hasn't turned up) would be very appreciated.
