OK, now I understand but my advice is still the same.  When the content of the
variable is UNKNOWN TYPE that can only mean that nvcorrd did not recognize what
kind of a variable this was, so he did not (and could not) parse it.   Sounds
like a possible bug to me.  Please open a problem with Support if you want to
pursue this.

Sorry for the lack of clarity - 'UNKNOWN TYPE' is the content of the
$NVATTR_1 variable. I write the variable to a log from the ruleset.
