>From email to a user:

User was getting error msg:

2011-03-27 11:06:56,449-0500 DEBUG VDL2ExecutionContext task:resources @
vdl-sc.k, line: 111: Unexpected argument localhost(coaster)


The immediate problem was that you were missing the outer XML tag brackets of:
<config>
...
</config>

...around your <pool> tag.  A sites file needs to start and end with the config
tag. All the pools should be inside this tag.

The error message given by Swift for this was terribly misleading. I will file
in bugzilla.
