0.9.3pre3 fails with "wrong argument count"

[[email protected]…]

Trying to upgrade from 0.8.7.2 to 0.9.3pre3 we get the following error.

In the client we see:

[[email protected] gilham]# /usr/sbin/bcfg2 -v
Failed to upload probe data

In the server we see:

I think that the attached patch should fix this. Can you verify that a different error message occurs after it is applied? The root issue is that the server is having trouble processing some of the probe data upload.
