[Users] Problem regriding using trigger thorn

[Roland Haas]

Hello all,

Here's a ticket:

https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2609/trigger-thorn-does-not-properly-check

which fixes (I think) the return code checks (<0 is error, >= 0 is
number of variables parsed). 

I am still not quite sure how to get the exact error message
encountered but there definitely were bugs.

Yours,
Roland
