Unfortunately, I still can't get it to set the
breakpoint. The file name shows up as this in ldb:

...ustom\bac_6m\filters\experian\acaps_ecbm_filter2.lua

so I had to guess at the beginning of the name, but so
far I haven't been able to guess correctly.

Also, the latest version doesn't pass the arguments in
correctly as far as I can tell.
