My bad, getUserName is a method, you'll have to call it:

<!--#in "Catalog({'id' : AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()})"-->
<!--#var extension-->
<!--#/in-->

You sure you don't have two objects with the id dave_knight, but in
two different folders?  Try running a find from the same folder as the
Catalog looking for objects with that id.  Or you could try:

<!--#in "Catalog({'id' : AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()})"-->

  <a href="<!--#var SCRIPT_NAME-->/<!--#var
  "getpath(data_record_id_)"-->/manage_main"><!--#var
  "getpath(data_record_id_)"--><br>

<!--#/in-->


This will print a link to the objects.  It's doubtful that there could 
be two objects with the same uid, which from ZCatalog's perspective is 
the objects URL.  If they are the same then it's a bug.
