Ahh, now the bulb brightens a bit.  I  thought it strange that I was 
getting 20-30k of squawks in the log, but everything appeared to be working.

That find command is running, but so far its only spit out the 
/.bash_history and /.viminfo files, and it's now done.

Thanks for the patience, I appreciate it.

Thanks.
