The problem in my case was that the backend in horde is a ldap db which
has multiple categories per contact. Currently, in horde I see comma
separated categories for contacts which have multi category in the ldap
backend, so I never noticed that it is not supported before.

Since it seems that that multiple categories per contact is out of the
equation, is there a way that I can filter out a *specific category*
from ldap source in the turba source.php file so that turba won't see it
at all? Can this be done? It would solve all my problems!

Obviously, this is different than the current "filter" command that can
be used in that file since I don't want to filter out contacts, just
ignore certain category they might have..
