I can't tell if the crux of the confusion in this thread is that there 
are two different template keys used or not.

The "template" in the args dict in cb_head, cb_date_head, cb_story, 
cb_story_end and cb_foot callbacks is an actual template--it's not the 
name of a template.  These callbacks are renderer callbacks.

Prior to those callbacks getting called, you can override the template 
that gets used to render an entry with the "template_name" variable in 
the entry dict.  This is the name of the template to use to render the 
entry.  By default, it's "story".  Changing "template_name" in the entry 
dict will have NO effect if you're doing it in one of the renderer 
callbacks because they're beyond template_name things and are working on 
the actual template.

Hope that helps!
