Can anyone explain RTC file system Custom Attributes and why lscm get ca returns different results than Eclipse?

We are using RTC 6.0.3 and are attempting to utilize Exteneded (custom) attributes on files. We have an attribute called 'Security' that we have set on files using the Eclipse RTC client. When doing it here, the value set seems to show correctly even within the history of the work items. We would like to use the SCM command line interface to retreive the user properties but we are getting inconsistent results. We have a workspace that has files with the attribute set. When the workspace is loaded into a sandbox and then the get ca command is used, the values returned generally are nothing or an incorrect value. We can set the attribute using set ca and then the get ca shows the value, but no change is made and there is no way to share this wtih the stream. Additionally, checking the property on the file from Eclipse (by showing the repository files in my workspace and then showing properties) doesn't see the changed property. I have also attempted to unload my sandbox, delete the workspace, create a new one and then load it fresh. In doing this, the get ca command is still showning the property that was set previously on the file. Where is it keeping this value (assuming in the .jazz5 folder somewhere as I didn't blow that away).
One answer
