THank you for the example. I noticed one thing.... the 
status.method.message_count doesn't always match the number in the queue. For 
example I have a situation now where there is one message in the queue, and I 
can get an accurate count using the Rabbitmq api/queues but the status.method 
reports no messages in the same queue.
