This is because of a syntax change on the new IGS server.

# help sgf
[...]
'sgf tobe' will find _all_ games begining with 'tobe' as part of the string. 
'sgf tobe-' will find _only_ 'tobe'.
[...]

# sgf dos
bretz-dos-09-16-08
There is 1 sgf game.

# sgf -dos
bretz-dos-09-16-08
There is 1 sgf game.

# sgf dos-
There are 0 sgf games.


gGo sends 'sgf <playername>-', the old syntax. But that doesnt work anymore
on the new server. The '-' is important to make sure you only get the sgf
files of that player.

I can change it to sending the new syntax 'sgf -<playername>'. But I dont
know if PandaNet might want to change it back to the old syntax, which would
mess gGo again. I personally dont care, but I want to know what the final
IGS syntax will be first. Also I dont know if that breaks other clients,
too, which might be an argument to change it back to the old format.
