Fixed in master at 34d388faaf2124edf5036e74ca49cdd8db7d5250 (merge is at 57441fbd6a287c84714f2e37d836621484c4f02e). One question, I get a permission denied when I do this. Is this another bug?

Suggestions: Standalone candlepin does not support redeeming a subscription. Standalone candlepin does not support subscription redemption.
