With respect to this recent error, I'm guessing that the path to the pid
file doesn't exist. With the issue you've been having on the type/provider
itself, I believe that I found that the parsedfile provider generally has
name hard coded as the namevar. This may be a bit far fetched, but see if
changing the name of the namevar to 'name' and see if it fixes things. It's
a hack really, but perhaps it'll get you what you want.
