call_dmget() issue

[jakesteinberg]

when requesting dmget status ...

call_dmget(diag.files,status=True)

a message like "dmget: Dmgetting 3 of 3 files requested (1068MB)" is returned, but no request is issued. If the "status=True" argument is removed, the command is executed and the cell hangs while the dmget is carried out.

I agree this is a bit clunky, @jakesteinberg. I think we should come up with a better way. Do you have any suggestions for how this should function?
