[mv] ProductFiles <multiple>

Hi all,    [Debian 2.2 <=> MV 4.04]

I have a question about the ProductFiles directive. To start though I 
should explain what I am trying to achieve.

I have a master cart (ci) which will eventually contain a large 
number of  SubCatalogs, these subcats will share the majority of 
information from the master cart. The only 'major' difference will be 
the products database. I have at present only implemented 1 
subcatalog (test) and have pointed its config file at its appropriate 
products database (testproducts=>testproducts.txt). So far so good, 
the master cart reads its db and the subcat reads its db... but... 
and here is were I get stuck, I now want the master cart to 
read/access 'both' these product db files (and any other future 
subcat products db additions).

According to the docs this is simple via the ProductFiles directive 
which I applied in the master carts config file (catalog.cfg):

ProductFiles   products testproducts

I have tried (again in the catalog.cfg):
[snip]
Database  products      products.txt      TAB
Database  testproducts  testproducts.txt  TAB
[/snip]

and
[snip]
Database  products      products.txt      TAB
Database  testproducts  testproducts.txt  1
[/snip]

Both return the following error after a restart of the MVend Daemon:

[snip]
ci config error: Can't call method "new" on an undefined value at 
/usr/local/minivend/lib/Vend/Data.pm line 557.
[/snip]

This is from the subroutine "tie_database" in Data.pm, after a quick 
scan, nothing obvious seems untoward -- (well, to me at least  ;-)

The test SubCatalog configured correctly.

Am I doing something REALLY obviously stupid?
Any help, or comments are as always much appreciated.

Regards -- Dave
