Serial Review in Visual Annotate

I am using Visual Annotate using one of the configurable workflows in 6.1. It works fine when I add one person as a reviewer. Does any body know how to add multipeople in the review process. I have tried chaging this review_type=grouptask[group:demomaster,user:jsmith] in the cfg file., but it gives me an error. Has anyone know hoe to configure serial review for more than one people using VA.

Let's start by telling us what error it returns? When specifically does it give you this error? What is the behavior of this WF versus the anticipated behavior of the WF?

Attached are the modifications I have made in my cfg file for the review process using cofigurable author submit workflow..As you can see I have only commeneted out two things Serial review and the review type group task.
When I try to submit a page using this workflow, gives me an error Invalid workflow:

Error Bad task name Author Work in Activation
Error:00001: Failure in operation

Moreover on the review type right now its only one user. But if I add more than one user gives me an different error like cannot put muti users in an array
???? How should I put more than one reviewer than??

# Who should review the Author's work? The format of the review_type is:
#
# "review_type=" <review_task> | <serial> | <concurrent>
# <review_task> = "areaowner"|"job_initiator"|<user>|<grouptask>|<select>
# <user> ::= "user:" <os_user_name>
# <grouptask> ::= "grouptask[" (<group>|<user>) ("," (<group>|<user>))* "]"
# <group> ::= "group:" <os_group_name>
# <select> ::= "select[" <role> ("," <role>)* "]"
# <role> ::= "role:" ( "author"|"editor"|"admin"|"master"| etc. )
# <serial> ::= "serial[" <review_task> ("," <review_task>)* "]"
# <concurrent> ::= "concurrent[" <review_task> ("," <review_task>)* "]"
#
# Simple examples: Each of these examples specifies a review process with
# only one review task. In the first two examples, the review task is
# a usertask assigned to the area owner, or the specific user
# (worldcorp\andre). In the third example, the review task is a
# grouptask that is shared by the specified users and groups. In the
# fourth example, the review task is a usertask, and the owner of that
# task will be selected by the job initiator from among those users who
# are authors or editors.
#
# review_type=areaowner
# review_type=user:worldcorp\andre
# review_type=grouptask[group:demomaster,user:jsmith]
# review_type=select[role:editor,role:author]
#
# Advanced examples: This first example specifies a review process with three
# review tasks that will be executed in a serial manner. The first review
# task will be assigned to a user selected from among the editors. The
# second review task will be assigned to the area owner. The third task
# will be assigned to a user selected from among the masters and admins.
#
# The second example specifies a review process with up to three review
# tasks that will be concurrent. Each task will be assigned to a selected
# editor. If fewer than three editors are selected, there will be fewer
# than three review tasks. This is only permitted if the min_reviewers
# option has been set to a number less than 3.
#
review_type=serial[select[role:editor],areaowner,select[role:master,role:admin]]
# review_type=concurrent[select[role:editor],select[role:editor],select[role:editor]]
#
# For workflows that employ VisualAnnotate, it is recommended that a serial review
# process be in place. For example:
# review_type=serial[select[role:admin,role:master,role:editor],select[role:admin,role:master,role:editor]]
review_type=grouptask[group:demomaster, user:surnu]
# review_type=user:cn1\surnu
