[itsdb] Generating with ACE Problems

[Tore Bruland]

When I try to generate from ACE, I get the messages:
 <1> --- client exit <40002>.
 <1> --- error: maximum number of strikes exhausted (1).
What is the problem?

I start logon from my Emacs without a grammar and I start the cpu for
generating.
In my podium window:
- I choose a test suite instance that is parsed with ACE as gold standard.
- I choose a test suite instance that for the result.
- I choose Process->switches->generation
- I choose Process->All items

In my emacs window:

	TSNLP(2): (tsdb::tsdb :cpu :no_ace_g)

	  [13:37:09] wait-for-clients(): `tore-Latitude-E6320' registered as

I have installed my own ACE software and I know that I can parse and
generate with it.
In my dot.tsdbrc:
...
     ;; NorSource with ACE

     ;; bruland
     (make-cpu 
      :host (short-site-name)

      :class :no_ace_p :grammar "norsource" :name "norsource"
      :task '(:parse) 
      :wait 600
     )
