I see that Neil has added "Needs a b-file" to A000927 and its partial sums
A265038.  

The gfun package suggests a G.f. for A000927:

-(12*x^14+8*x^13-7*x^12+16*x^11+51*x^10+182*x^9+327*x^8+418*x^7+450*x^6+350*x^5+243*x^4+130*x^3+51*x^2+12*x+1)/(x^12+x^10-2*x^9-x^8-2*x^7+2*x^5+x^4+2*x^3-x^2-1)

The denominator factors as
(x+1)*(x^2+1)^2*(x^2+x+1)^2*(x-1)^3

This does look like G.f.'s for other sequences of this type. Can someone 
confirm that this G.f. is correct? Otherwise I'll just call this an 
"empirical" g.f.

Cheers,
Robert
