Hi Karl,

I have to send this one to you because I've looked at it from many 
angles and it makes no sense to me.

I was trying to upload some demog notes for Viola's group into 
demog_census.  VIV is censused (present) on two days in Viola's group 
(check babase_test if you want) and I needed to add a note that she was 
hanging around with a subgroup.  I get the following message regarding 
both demog notes I am trying to upload:

ERROR: Cenid 1978378: VIV: Individual ranked in RANKS but no longer in 
supergroup on Rnkdate

Here are the formatted notes: 

VIV     2008-06-21     1.22     1.22     VIV, along with VOG, RWA, VOH, 
and LOG rejoined the group at 0900 on the plain between grove 118 and 
TZC.  The group slept in TZC.  We don't know where they slept.

VIV    2008-01-24    1.22    1.22    VIV was part of a subgroup of 9 
individuals found alone and must have spent the night away from the rest 
of the group.  They did not rejoin the group during the field session.   

I don't see any conflict in the dates, grp or reference numbers.  I also 
don't see why the system in complaining about the RANKS when her last 
ranking was in Dec 2007 for Viola's group and there are no conflicting 
2008 ranks yet input for her.

Could this be a bug?
