The inventory database is stored in the inventory.db file (or whatever
format you're using) and is not automatically updated in the invetory.asc
(or whatever) file.

If you want it to update, you must put in:

	[tag export inventory][/tag]

which will force it to update the original file from the database that
minivend keeps.


(atleast, it worked for me, when inventory is tracking correctly for me,
which I'm still trying to debug)
