[Serusers] $from in avpops different?

I have this avpops test going... avp_db_load("$ruri/username", "$urire/$urire_scheme"); # Load the urire column for this and check to see if # it matches the $from address if(avp_check("$urire", "eq/$from/I")) { do stuff } I'm calling from the number number(a)domain.com. If I use the above, the avp_check test fails. If I put if(avp_check("$urire", "eq/number(a)domain.com/I")) instead, the check works exactly the way it's supposed to. It's almost as if the $from address isn't right. Is there some way I can check what it's doing at this point other than this painful trial and error? N.
