The format for the INDEX option of the Database directive is not fully
documented, but this question has been answered on the list
before. Basically, it is stored as a scalar, so you can only have one
instance of the directive in catalog.cfg. So if you want to build multiple
indexes, it must look like this:
Database products INDEX category:c engines:c sku
...hopefully this will play well with the ':c' option - I have never tried it.
