Looks like this:

> 
>       [userdb
>         function=set_file_acl
>         mode="expire 7 days"
>         location="[item-code]"
>       ]

Doesn't match this:

> In deliver.html:
> 
> [seti authorized][userdb
>   function=check_file_acl
>   location="[scratch deliverable]"
>   mode=expire
> ][/seti]

Unless [scratch deliverable] is equal to the SKU of the ordered item,
it will not authenticate.

If you do a SQL query

	select file_acl from userdb;

you will see what is actually set for the location for all orders
with downloads.
