Anthony,
You should first get an instance of riak_client after attaching to the
console like so:
{ok, Client} = riak:local_client().
Then you can call Client:set_bucket...
I spent a bit of time struggling with the multi_backend, but basically if
you set the backend name using the REST interface like Sean mentioned, it
will store the bucket name in the properties as a binary. That's why I've
found it best to just always name the backends with binaries if you could be
setting bucket properties through the REST interface.
