 > Tomeu, what is going here?

 Don't really know. I suspect of some error in the activity code.

 > I thought you said custom metadata properties are not stored.

 This code made me think that:
 http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/datastore;a=blob;f=src/olpc/datastore/xapianindex.py;h=06041aa5770554f9739c0ccaa726aae92d0ad65e;hb=HEAD#l369

 But after reading more, I saw that this other code will add the properties
 missing in the model to the secore config:

 http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/datastore;a=blob;f=src/olpc/datastore/xapianindex.py;h=06041aa5770554f9739c0ccaa726aae92d0ad65e;hb=HEAD#l310

 > Does your test script contradict that?

 Yeah, you can run it and one entry with the source property will be
 created at every run. If you close sugar, restart and run it again, the
 script will show you that the entries created earlier still have the
 source property.

 > Does the script restart the DS?

 No, you need to manually restart the DS when you want to check if the
 files still have the source property.
