Hi Dave,

Sorry for the time lapse, that worked (the name length was the issue), 
however, I  have another question.  Do you know if this method can be 
supported for user uploaded tracks or is it just a webserver/backend thing?
As far as I can tell, it would seem this only works for someone reloading 
the whole gbrowse database from the server side, and that the user wouldn't 
be able to upload wiggle tracks, although we'd be interested in doing such a 
thing.

Thanks for your help,
Chris
