Right, I understand that. I thought that after you

	xenbus_printf(XBT_NIL, info->dev->nodename, state,
                     "%d", XenbusStateClosed);

in scsiback_do_add_lun() you'd eventually

	xenbus_switch_state(dev, XenbusStateConnected);

in scsiback_frontend_changed().

What I didn't realize was that this switch would only happen if 
dev->state is not XenbusStateConnected, which it still will be, even 
after xenbus_printf(XenbusStateClosed).

So
