My bad on both parts. I guess I should test first then answer support questions.

I was thinking of the ID field for the displays. You are right in setting the
data source name.

An unintended side effect of some newer functionality. This is fixed now and 
will be
in tonights nightly build. Sorry.

If all you want to do is load in the data source into the idv then 
by all means just do:
idv -data "the path to the data"
If you want to have a generic bundle just do the string replacement
that I initially described.
