Can't upload data to dev datastore: says dev app can't access app's data

[fhuddles]

Greetings,

  I recently upgraded to version 1.6.3 (from 1.5.1) of the GAE SDK, and, because it seems that every time I start my development appserver, I have to reload my development datastore (I am NOT specifying the option to clear the datastore upon starting), I am trying to run the python program to reload the data.

However, I get the following error( the application name is "family-tourt-hudd"):

ApplicationError: ApplicationError: 1 app "dev~family-tourt-hudd" cannot access app "family-tourt-hudd"'s data

It appears that it's prepending the "dev" in front of my app name. 

I see that the development console says it's for the app "dev-family-tourt-hudd", but can't see anywhere where I've specified this.

Apparently it thinks I'm dealing with two different apps. I saw in the release notes that "dev" would be 

appended to an environment variable. I've tried specifying the "dev" app name when running the upload app:

I get the same error, but this time it's got the same app name and says it can't access the information. 

Here's how I start the dev_appserver:

dev_appserver.py --high_replication --datastore_path=/usr/local/apps/gae/fam/fam.datastore --debug /usr/local/apps/gae/fam

and here's how I run the data upload program:

python dbload-fams.py family-tourt-hudd localhost:8080

What's going on here, and what can I do to make it work? 

Thanks

start your dev_appserver.py with the --default-partition option

dev_appserver.py --default-partition='' 

pass an empty string as the default partition

That worked! Except it's an underscore: --default_partition
Thanks!
