Hi!

What do we want :
Using the API (bioblend 0.4.3, Galaxy-dist ( 22 jan 2014 ) ): upload files from user’s FTP directory to Galaxy and launch workflow
How we do it :
1. Determine the user's libraryID and historyID
2. Upload files : gi.libraries.upload_file_from_server (libraryID, server_dir) and get the datasetID in user’s library (libraryID).
3. Check the status of the upoaded file : gi.datasets.show_dataset (datasetID).
4. If state of dataset is 'ok' (gi.datasets.show_dataset (datasetID) ['state']), we import it to the history (historyID): gi.histories.upload_dataset_from_library (historyID, datasetID, 'library')
5. Now we can run workflow

Problem:
For the new user the command gi.datasets.show_dataset (datasetID) works properly and displays information about the required dataset, but after a while (after some upload iterations) the command gi.datasets.show_dataset(datasetID) displays information about wrong dataset ( with identical datasetID, but not the current member of user’s library (libraryID).

But in bioblend docs: 
" show_dataset(dataset_id, deleted=False)
Display information about and/or content of a dataset. This can be a history or a library dataset."

Example:

libraryID = gi.libraries.get_libraries()[ 0 ][ 'id' ]
u'417e33144b294c21'

lib = gi.libraries.show_library(libraryID, True)
[ {
u'url': u'/api/libraries/417e33144b294c21/contents/c8990a1b374598b0', u'type': u'file', 
u'id': u'c8990a1b374598b0', 
u'name': u'/opo_opo.csfasta'
}
]

datasetID = c8990a1b374598b0
http://<server>/api/datasets/c8990a1b374598b0?key=<api_key>
gi.datasets.show_dataset('c8990a1b374598b0')

u'name': u'dataset_1.dat',      <-?????
u'uuid': None,

}

In libraries.show_dataset() no 'state' attribute.
