Satellite activation key api

Latest response

I have a script to change the channels in an activation key using the satellite api. It looks something similar to this:
clone_channel_details = {
'base_channel_label' : "TEST-rhel-x86_64-server-6-update-4-11192013"
}

client.activationkey.setDetails(key,one_key,clone_channel_details)

This changes the base channel. I can see the children channels but they aren't selected. So I thought the addChildChannels method would "select" the children channels for the activation key, but I get an error when I run this:

client.activationkey.addChildChannels(key,one_key,"TEST-rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6-update-4-11192013")

Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Does anyone know why I am getting this error? Am I using the correct method to assign the children channels?
