Looking at the code (paraphrased):

if (voice == server_voice)
  ok = app.lua.hook_get_netsync_write_permitted(name(), remote_peer_key_name);
...
if (!ok)
  W(F("Dropping branch certs for unwanted branch %s"));

I think that warning is actually that "the user doesn't have
write permission" (ie, check your hooks). The "allowed write
permission" printed earlier looks like it's always printed,
whether they have permission or not (since now the hooks
check permissions per-branch, not per collection/regex).

Could you check that your
get_netsync_write_permitted(branch,key) hook looks right? If
that is the problem, I'll look at making the printed output
more correct.
