Could you please run the application server refdbd with a log level of 7 and
send me the log output of the getbib command? E.g. stop the server using
"refdbctl stop", then run refdbd -s -e 2 -l 7 -L /home/joe/getbib.log, run
refdbib in a separate terminal, and kill refdbd with Ctrl-C when done.

RefDB treats numerical ID values and citation keys separately, although they
have to share the same field (ID  - ) in RIS datasets. :ID: looks for a
numerical ID, whereas :CK: looks for a citation key. The following command
should work:

  refdbc: getref :CK:=Overduin1998pn

regards,
Markus
