Description

The exception message produced by the aclReloadFile QMF Method is a bit unhelpful, for example:

qpidd --auth no

qpid-config reload-acl

The message says "Failed: ACL Module Not Loaded in Broker"

This message implies that the ACL Module has not been loaded, whereas as of 0.20 that's always part of qpidd as it's not a loadable module anymore. The error is really due to the fact that an ACL file has not been loaded.

The error message should probably read something like:
"Failed: No ACL Loaded in Broker"
