I've never used mod_dock, in fact I do not even know what it does, so I'm 
afraid I can't help you here, sorry.

Wild guess: The diff indicates that the line

dopath("cfg_defaults")

in your cfg_notion.lua is commented IN, right?

What does your cfg_defaults.lua contain? Maybe an additional dopath("mod_sp")? 
This would explain the "The module is already loaded." message. 

Also does it contain a dopath("mod_statusbar")? This would explain why the 
statusbar is missing: Unfortunately dopath("mod_statusbar") needs to be 
executed AFTER dopath("mod_xinerama"). I guess that in your case it is 
executed twice, once indirectly by dopath("cfg_defaults") and then again by 
the direct dopath("mod_statusbar"), but only the first time seems to count.

Please try commenting OUT all dopaths other than dopath("cfg_defaults") in 
your cfg_notion.lua and modify cfg_defaults.lua instead, while making sure 
that dopath("mod_xinerama") occurs before dopath("mod_statusbar"). (In fact in 
the case of cfg_defaults.lua we print a warning if the order is wrong, but 
apparently not if the dopaths are done in cfg_notion.lua. :/)

Does this help?

Best,
Philipp
