Yup, that was next on my list of things to test, but I had lost my 
reference to in between which ':'s that number should go :). And yes, 
adding that '1' there is exactly what I needed. Sure would be nice if 
this could be made more obvious someway, but I'm afraid I don't really 
know what that would be. I guess the wiki could point this out more 
clearly, especially in light of the fact that a common linux iSCSI 
target toolchain prevents you from using LUN 0.
