Barry,

Perhaps your mason cache needs to be cleaned out? The only way I can see
that you would get that result is if the SkipTransaction callback was this:

return 1;
<%ARGS>
$skip => undef
$Transaction => undef
</%ARGS>

Did you have something like that in an earlier iteration? Incidentally, you
don't need to return a value here, just set $$skip.

Good luck,
Steve
