Yes, I'm using the spice-sdb backend. I also get a few missing
attributes (refdes and pin number) which it does not associate with any
line of the cir file. Here's a simple example - so I can post the whole
.sch file and the output.

Found capacitor.  Refdes = C1

It occurred to me that I didn't actually specify the pot setting
anywhere, perhaps it's the missing attribute that's throwing it for a
loop, but I didn't see how to do that.
