 Brian,
Thanks! that got me pointed in the right direction. I had an issue finding
the right permissions, and while 600 seemed to make sense to me it didn't
solve my problem (maybe I missed something), but I found a link that had a
chmod using the alpha commands and that took care of me. thanks for your
help! That was really quick too.
