  That is the value of %{Vendor-Specific}

   You've created the dictionary file entry for that... but aren't using
the dictionary name you created.

  Why?

  Yes, that *IS* the value of Vendor-Specific.

  Because that isn't the correct format.  Really.

  Why are you using %{Vendor-Specific}, and %'{KULeuven-Test}' ?

  Why the *extra* quotes in your VSA?  Why not just

	%{KULeuven-Test}

  ?

  Adding the extra quote marks '..'  is breaking it.
