    Assuming you tried something like:

	cvm-testclient cvm-unix <account> <domain> <password>

    If this isn't run with sufficient privileges, you'll probably
    get a #100 error.  If you're going to be running this via an
    unprivileged service, I'd recommend setting up a non-cvm-command
    service (e.g. cvm-local) and referencing that as your cvm.
    Your test might then look something like:

	cvm-testclient cvm-local:/var/run/cvm/socket ...

| Authentication failed, error #1

    This is a general error, but I've seen it when the cvm module
    supplied is not valid (either because it doesn't exist or isn't
    in the current path).  Once you can get cvm-unix to work reliably
    with the test client, then try creating the local cvm service.
