You're right that I overlooked the .item thing (it correctly tells me the number of keys now) and I figured out what I was doing wrong with the value search to find the related keys.

But do you have anything for why it's not overwriting the file without the removed keys? It's like it really doesn't want to acknowledge that they left the list. It'll write a new value for the key if I change it, but if I tell it to "hdel" the key and save it still shows up in the file.
