I think I know why it didn't work on my local setup. Compare the 
following two tests, both should return the equal number of rows, but 
they do not:

$ echo "l8:branchese o20:ignore-suspend-certs0:e l8:branchese" \
  | mtn au stdio -d ../monotone.mtn | wc -l
     200
$ echo "o20:ignore-suspend-certs0:e l8:branchese l8:branchese" \
  | mtn au stdio -d ../monotone.mtn | wc -l
     404

--ignore-suspend-certs is a global option which does not get reset once 
it was set. In general it is useful that global options (i.e. those 
given to automate stdio) are not reset by single automate commands, but 
if such a global option is set by a command which is run inside stdio, 
it does not get reset either! I'll have a look how to fix that...

Thomas.
