You should use the functions the lua interface uses not the lua
wrappers themselves.

In the case of retap_packets you can call it as:

cf_retap_packets(&cfile, FALSE);

But you should do that from a gui action  *_stat.c in the gtk/ dir as
it would only work in wireshark (it won't work for tshark).
