Ok cool I tried this out and gave it a look over.  Looks good to me,
only a few nits below:

-the various (only moved not added)
strncpy(...)
copy[len]  = '\0';

just use strlcpy?

-it seemed we were going to do the error messages the other way around
"invalid value for "YYYY" in "a009"
instead of
"invalid value "a009" for "YYYY"

but I think I like the latter (what you did in your patch) better
anyways... so never mind
