I wasn't aware I was hijacking the thread! :-) I had my caching set up and saw that things were getting put into the cache and never getting cleared (like Amurugan), so I added the extra slash (per the other post) to correct it. It seemed to work in that stale items were now getting flushed. I had made this addition in the treecache.xml file.
