That's because there's a syntax error in the interface body... :-)

You shouldn't use typedef there. Just enum eT {...} is what you need.
By the way, the _ prefixes quite probably aren't doing what you think
they are. The enum members are just called "Ok" and "Update" with the
_ prefixes stripped off.
