Same problem for QUIET, SILENT and SEPERATE, but really, --queue shouldn't
work that way, theres no reason to call cast from the top again, and
of course --pam is broken this way too. Yet another example of making
a function designed to do one thing, do another *sigh* But hey, why not just
make quick little fixes like this because their easy?

Thanks for pointing out the problem source of the problem though...
