Dear Tony:

That's right on target! That's what resolved this isseu (see my 
subsequent "Solved" message). I didn't know why it fixed itself, but now 
I know why. I ran it as root once or twice and suddenly it was working 
fine. I then ran it as user and it worked fine as user.

Thanks for this little piece of critical knowledge.

Benjamin
