Thanks for your help; I got the same problem as you. Is there a chance
that your pv-dump could help? I took a look at a cut filter dump, but
it's a bit confusing due to the 'old' style.
As you mentioned earlier,the other approach to batch process data files
would be to load state files using python, but  it seems that I am not
able to just change the data file name in the state file!? In addition
to that I tried to use the 'batch Record Test' option, which should work
with python too, but it seems, that just 'xml' output is working so
far...!? I would say a good python 'dump' tool would be the best
approach :-)
