Hi Andrew,
Spot on - I was just lazy, and since I was using the same (sorta) mechanism,
I just did some quick cut and paste...
'mark_offline' is much more accurate.

This should really be 'mark offline' not 'map offline' shouldn't it?

The 'map' implies it works like the u+x == archive stuff, but this is just a

per-share flag (as far as my 2 second patch reading tells me anyway...)
