That was a typo in test.php, fixed in CVS.

I guess this still has to be found out. :) But as far I understand,  
this should only be necessary if autologin aka hordeauth does *not*  
work. But you said you have set it up like this. So the problems seems  
to be anywhere else.

Yes, if the Gollem backend supports multi-users.
