ckan custom harvester '__junk' validation

Question

I succesfully implemented a custom Harvester in my localhost CKAN installation (1.8), but when I move on another (should be the same configuration) machine, I got this error:

2013-02-13 11:18:21,670 DEBUG [ckanext.patstatweb.harvesters] In PatStatWebHarvester fetch_stage

Any insights on this?

The problem was caused by a bug with the organization setup of CKAN and the harvester plugin

This solves the issue https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/391
