I had to change the 

      temparray = [[queuesdict objectForKey:[[event objectForKey:@"Queue"] 
                          objectForKey:@"Agents"]];

to let it compile, but then it ended up in an exception (Some 
NSConcrete8BitString does not recognize objectForKey) while running and I 
enter the AsteriskUI in OGo. Then I tried to replace my shuffling around 
with temporary variables where I put the queuesdict into the 
self->multipleReturn, your version:

   [self->multipleReturn release];
   self->multipleReturn = nil;
   self->multipleReturn = [[queuesdict allValues] retain];

mixed the array completely up, My webUI expects an array, and the 
repetitions made it looking funny ;) 
my version of it below, but just only for one queue:

    [queuesdict takeValue:[membersarray copy] forKey:@"Agents"];
    NSMutableArray *tmparray;
    tmparray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    [tmparray addObject:queuesdict];
    [self->multipleReturn removeAllObjects];
    ASSIGN(self->multipleReturn, [tmparray copy]);

nevertheless, thanks for taking time.

kind regards
Sebastian
