Glad to see I'm not the only one having trouble using this feature :-)

There was this thread on the list a couple of weeks ago:
http://lists.varnish-cache.org/pipermail/varnish-misc/2010-June/004307.html

As I understand, it might work, depending on how and when the shutdown
of varnishd happens. But I have no clue how to stop it in a way which
would allow a successful reload of the existing cache at the next
start.
