Retrieving the Array of strings

[Kaustubh Atrawalkar]

Hi !!

I m appending an array of string to send over dbus. On the other end i m 
retrieving the structure. But i m getting garbage values. If i change 
the DBUS_TYPE_STRING to DBUS_TYPE_UINT32 i get the perfect results.I m 
attaching the part of the code. Where i m going wrong ? I think its 
marshaling problem.

------------- Sending part ---------------

        DBusMessage *reply;
        DBusMessage *mesg;

        DBusMessageIter iter, array_iter, struct_iter;

        guint dev_num =2, i;
        char name0[] = "MP3";
        char title0[] = "Playing..";
        char name1[] = "CALL";
        char title1[] = "On Hold..";
        char *ptr_name = name0;
        char *ptr_title = title0;

        const char array_sig[] = DBUS_STRUCT_BEGIN_CHAR_AS_STRING\
