[Opensim-users] Matching, mapping user UUIDs between servers

[Rick Anderson]

Thank you. Given this advice, and the very kind people in the reply I've
got this is working now.

I've also found that I had done the import several times for testing, and
 discovered an issue where an edited import of an oar file doesn't update
because it's thought to already exist because of a previous import.
