Part of the duration calculation is a set of example exceptions that
look for specific profile groups (in this case, Staff, Trustee and
Outreach) and give them a different max fine level and, for Outreach,
a different duration.

By default, the Trustee and Outreach groups don't exist in the
database.  However, the backed circ/hold JS scripts are the ones that
PINES uses (in the 1.0 branch of CVS) and so will have plenty of code
that won't work on a freshly installed EG.  My suggestion would be to
move to a 1.1 version -- the dependencies haven't changed much, so you
should be able to upgrade fairly easily -- as we've cleaned out (or at
least moved) many of the PINES-specific things in CVS.

Short of a full upgrade, you could copy the backend javascript from a
1.1 tarball or from CVS head into place.  There shouldn't be any
problem with that.  This has a problem of it's own, which is what Dan
ran into.  There is a syntax error in one of the scripts in CVS which
Bill (Erickson) is fixing that as I type, so your best bet is probably
just to grab CVS in an hour or so and copy the files into place.
Approximately:

cp -R ~/cvs/ILS/Open-ILS/src/javascript/backend/* /openils/var/

Let us know how that goes!
