I had thought that there was some directive in the catalog.cfg that
specified "weight" as a shipping calculation parameter, but I have looked
through my file and didn't find any such directive, yet I am still getting
the "Custom shipping field 'weight' doesn't exist returning 0" error in my
error.log. Any one have any other ideas?

TIA!
