Light_Item Failure to Sync with X10_Item with Restrictions

I've run into a problem with the light restriction items again. It seems that when it's tied to any given light item it stops that light item from updating based upon X10_Item status. eg. when I turn on a light with a palmpad, the Light_Item for that X10 Item never turns on (even though the light really is on). In fact, it only changes status when some automation code tells it to (and then it issues the appropriate command to turn the light on).

After some testing and help from Gregg Liming I have my current problem solved, but the patch is not a permanent fix.

I am content with having my lights working, but the way that Light Restriction Items are implemented apparently needs some attention so that they sync with external devices.
