TOS_NODE_ID is a variable (it has a location in memory). You can't  
pass a variable to a generic component initializer. Furthermore, why  
do you pass the node ID to AMSenderC? That generic takes an AM type  
(message type identifier) as a parameter, not an AM address (node  
identifier). The former is 8 bits, the latter is 16...
