Template Migration Misery

Question

I have the following code previously compiled using SC4.2 that I am trying to recompile using Forte 7:
The template header file is unchanged and looks like this (all of these are relevent fragments of code, header files are correctly included where appropriate):
template <class T>
class Scheduler
typedef void (T::*FuncPtr_t) ();
typedef void (*ThreadFn) (Scheduler<T>*);
public :
Scheduler(T* obj, const FuncPtr_t fn, const unsigned int timePeriod);
private :
T* theObjectPtr;
FuncPtr_t theFunction;
unsigned int sleepTimePeriod; // in seconds
unsigned int initialDelay; // in seconds
The appropriate part of the .cpp file is as follows:
template <class T>
Scheduler<T>::Scheduler(T* obj,
const FuncPtr_t f,
const unsigned int timePeriod) : theObjectPtr(obj),
theFunction(f),
sleepTimePeriod(timePeriod),
initialDelay(0),
started(FALSE),
suspended(FALSE),
cancelled(FALSE)
sdi_rwlock_init(&schedLock);
The using code has a header file entry like this:
Scheduler<CCI_Client> refreshScheduler;
And a using entry in its own constructor like this:
CCI_Client::CCI_Client() : currentBinding( 0 ),
myPool( 0 ),
                              oldActiveBindings( 0 ),
                              oldReserveBindings( 0 ),
                              newActiveBindings( 0 ),
                              newReserveBindings( 0 ),
loginStruct( 0 ),
refreshScheduler(this, CCI_Client::refresh, 0),
refreshImportBindings(CCI_Client::whenPoolDepleted),
refreshExchangePool(CCI_Client::everyTime),
firstCall( 1 )
Clearly, this will not compile in Forte 7, so I have tried this:
// Testing ...
     Scheduler <CCI_Client> refreshScheduler(this, CCI_Client::refresh, (const unsigned int) 0);
But this gives a "Could not find a match" error from the compiler. As far as I can tell it won't match CCI_Client * to the T* of the template.
Any ideas?
