Getting hal to invoke callouts

[Phillip Susi]

I did as you sugested and verified that info.callouts.add is set on the 
object with g-d-m, but my dump script is still not being called.  I have 
made sure that the script is world executable, and set my home directory 
to be world writable.  Do you have any more ideas?  The verbose output 
of hald contains this:
