Looking at output from Vend::Server, it finds the correct catalo

Vend::Server:debug: catname is /foundcscp
Vend::Server:debug: found catalog /foundcscp

calls Vend::SOAP:debug: SOAP autoload called, routine=Vend::SOAP::userdb, args=[
  'Vend::SOAP',
  {
    'password' => 'cjs2',
    'function' => 'login',
    'username' => 'cjs2'
  }
]

but on entry to Vend::SOAP::userdb has set the $::Variable hash from the wrong
file, which suggests to me that the hash for alias's built up during the reading
Catalog lines in interchange.cfg is not cleared between Catalog lines

Vend::Parse:debug: Parse-do_tag: tag=userdb caller=Vend::SOAP
args=["login",{'password' => "cjs2",'function' => "login",'username' =>
"cjs2",},]
Vend::UserDB:debug: variable FILE_NAME=tutorial/catalog.cfg
