None is a Python "not an object", comparable to a NULL in SQL. In the 
example above you are calling the operation with the string "None", 
which can't work.

See above. On the Obj-C side the None would be converted to NSNull or 
nil, here it gets a string "None" and tries to treat it as a primary 
key.

Yes, I think None is just a shortcut for "current login account", which 
I think is the only access-id guaranteed to work.

Si.

Hm. AFAIK it should work with permission sets like 'rw', not sure why 
the message is logged.
