Aha!  Jason, you RULE!  The ownership on the old list file was INDEED the
problem but I didn't SEE it as a problem because it's always worked that
was with v1.92 of MajorDomo !  While I'm at it, can you (or someone) verify
for me that this is how the owner/group ownerships and the permissions 
should look for each of the files for a given group?
