TitleNo error message from TeamTrack if you edit a job as a user with no TeamTrack userid

DescriptionIf I'm logged into Perforce as a user with no corresponding user in TeamTrack and I edit a job, then I get an e-mail with the unhelpful error message "(no message from the TeamShare API)". The P4DTI TeamTrack integration is now maintained and supported by TeamShare <http://www.teamshare.com/>.
AnalysisThe TSAPI call TSServer::Transition('foo', ...), where there is no user 'foo' in TeamTrack, returns TS_ERROR and server->GetLastErrorMessage returns NULL.
The error message from TeamTrack ought to say "No such user: foo."
However, this is partly the fault of the replicator, which has attempted to call the Transition method with a user that it knows is not legal.
This problem is not serious, because the e-mail contains the boilerplate "The most likely reasons for this problem are: you don't have permission to update the issue..." which identifies the problem correctly.
