I can't quite trace where the EACCES is coming from, I can't see any
obvious causes there - the blacklist key type doesn't have an ->update
operation, and the assoc_array insert doesn't look like it would fail.

However: if I delete one of the duplicate keys using the bios UI, then
the number of errors logged decreases by one.

Cheers,


Jeremy
