I don't recall when I first noticed this, but I'm finding that the parallel_root_only decorator doesn't seem to be working.  A simple test is to run a script that only loads a dataset.  The print_key_parameters function is inside of a parallel_root_only decorator, so all that should only be printed by the root processor, but when I run that script in parallel it is printed by all processors.  I am still looking into this, but so far I have found that printing the value of parallel_capable inside this decorator always gives False even when running in parallel.

Can someone confirm this?  If so, does anyone know what's going on?
