Sounds like you mixed up the "View" and "ChangeView"
fields.  For what you're doing you want to be using the
"View" field -- leave the "ChangeView" field blank.

I also feel obligated to warn you that the thing you're trying with the
overlay mappings is going to lead to a lot of suffering.  I'd
encourage you to share more information about how you envision this scheme
working and how your depot is laid out; somebody on this forum will probably be
able to think of a better way to accomplish something similar.
