Deleting my previous comments.  This works fine as long as you haven't already 
set up a shield using cset shield commands.

Ah, yes.  The cset shield command should be used exclusively to the cset 
set/proc commands.  This however is not enforced by the cset tool.  If you 
intermix set/proc commands with the shield command you should know how shield 
works for it not to error out or do something you're not expecting.  

You can create a "shield" with cset set and proc commands.  If your "shield" or 
other configuration is more complex than what the built-in shield command 
provides, you should use the proc and set commands to set it up.  This is also 
covered in the docs (tutorial, man pages), fyi.
