  It returns an empty set.

  Yeah, I was trying to head off responses that told me to go to the WebUI
since the email archive is full of them and I wondered how many of those
people ever got passed their problems.  All is forgiven, though the next
person to do it will have no excuse. :)

  I keep trying to trace through the rt_admin tool with the Perl debugger,
but haven't got a good enough handle on what's going on yet to say anything
with certainty.  I still have this suspicion somebody's going to tell me
that it's not okay to have everything installed as user rt.  (Which is okay,
as long as I find out sooner rather than later. :) )

  Thanks for the help, any more insight you can provide would be great!
