Continued troubleshooting API issues

Here is the debug output from the client:

I also noticed something weird in the database. I browsed over to the hash table and noticed that hashes I uploaded through the web interface look like this:

oldoffice$0*0e62d7b435b9a5a02edbccdec499fb...


While ones pushed through the API (both in python and powershell) look like this:

I'm wondering if some weird encoding is the culprit.
