Your code have some issue. You should call notifyclients() when your  
pattr state change. It doesn't make sense to recall it (trough your  
pattrUpdate() function) inside getvalueof(). I didn't test it:

var currentPattr = new Array();
var mode...

function pattrUpdate()
{
	// set our array to current global state - have to use an array for  
pattr since we can only get/set one variable.
	currentPattr[0] = mode;
	currentPattr[1] = minval;
	currentPattr[2] = maxval;
	currentPattr[3] = currentval;
	currentPattr[4] = currenttitle;
	currentPattr[5] = listsize;
	currentPattr[6] = listmode;
}
pattrUpdate.private = 1;

function getvalueof()
{
	post("storing pattr state");
	post();
	pattrUpdate();		// update the states
	return currentPattr;	// our aggregate array of pattr variables
}

function setvalueof(v)
{
	post("recalling pattr state");
	post();
	
	// set our values
	mode = v[0];
	minval = v[1];
	maxval = v[2];
	currentval = v[3];
	currenttitle = v[4];
	listsize = v[5];
	listmode = v[6];
//	menuitems = v[7];
	
	resize();
	debug();
}

// debug
function debug()
{
	post("mode = " + mode);
	post();
	post("min = " + minval);
	post(" max = " + maxval);
	post();
}

// just to test:
function setmode(s)
{
	mode = s;		// store your new mode

	notifyclients();	// update the pattr values
}

Best,
