[development] Continued Services woes

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

Victor, two questions regarding this (for now). Where does another 
server sending the request get a session id to send? And in this 
example, and really every one I've seen, a standard method is being used 
(node.get in this one), but I'm wondering if part of the issue is that 
I'm defining a method in my module as opposed to using one packaged with 
the services module. In my case, I'm receiving data, and if its id 
matches a cck value in a content type I take the data and update a field 
in the node with it, if not, I put the data into a holding queue until 
there -is- a node with the id being matched by the cck field.
