If I understand the 'itemtodict' command correctly, it will not return
the values of the *table*, but from the *item* you passed to it.

  [...]
  The dictionary's keys will be column numbers or names, and the values
  will be the corresponding elements of the given item.
  [...]

Since the only value in the item is '0', you get empty strings for the
rest.
