[LON-CAPA-admin] No Cloning for ...

[hkng]

I am running into the same problem when I tried to create a course in the
fsuK12 domain. Is there any checking when cloning a course using a separate
course request script? The script writes an xml file - does
autocreate.plcheck when trying to create a course?
