Yes I was, the ei_rpc functions shouldn't have a version encoded
in the argument.

The documentation seems a bit weak in this area, the example for
ei_rpc both encodes and decodes the version byte, and it doesn't mention 
that ei_rpc does more decoding than ei_rpc_from, which can be a bit
surprising, at least it was for me before I looked at the source ;)

Oh well, it works great now.
