This is bad.  If the consumer is configured to be a read only consumer 
you should not be able to make a change on it.  You should either get a 
referral returned from the consumer to the client program which the 
client program will follow to make the change on the master, or, if 
chain on update is working, you will see the operation on the consumer 
and the same corresponding operation sent to the master.

Ulf, you've been able to get this running, right?
