Hi,

This is what sernet told me:

I had a lengthy discussion with the developer, who did (actually still does)
the rewrite of the idmap code for 3.6 which is urgently needed. It turns out
that there are much more limitations in the current code base than I thought.
Actually allocation can only be done by a single idmap backend and that is the
default backend.

So, it seems that idmap alloc backend cannot be used any more. I am 
using the default backend as suggested here.

Thanks

Alex
