You look to be doing the right thing. We'll need to do some testing to see if we can figure out what is going wrong. Personally, I'd lean towards your new approach anyway. It is simpler (in my view) and does not depend on the Manager app being deployed. Looking at this is currently next on my TODO list. I'll report back with what I find.
