OK, now we're going in circles: what you cut and paste is what I've been trying, over and over again, to no avail (as I said in my OP, it didn't like the way I'm specifying my source folder.) I'm sure there's some subtlety that--as a user, not an admin--I'm missing, that those overly-simplified instructions aren't including, but I can't seem to communicate what it is. I'll try posting a transcript of my efforts.
