The message means that the list in question has a restriction as to
who can subscribe, depending on their systemname.  They may only be
letting local users subscribe to the list in question.  This error
has to do with the Service= parameter on the list.   I have used this
parameter for a few lists that I want to restrice to my own local users.
Hope this helps,
jr
