Thanks Scott,

The error appears to be misleading, well perhaps. As you note, the
patchstick is not getting executed, so that got me to wondering why.
Interestingly enough when I went to do another boot with the USB
connection, but this time with a hub (used so that I can access a
keyboard), my ATV went right back into ATV.  It did not boot into the
atv-patchstick. This got me to wondering about my USB setup. As you
point out, some USB devices can be a little slow and having a 1.1
version USB hub added to the mix dos not help. I also had some USB
extender cables to make working with the setup more convenient.

In short, I cleaned up the USB cabling to eliminate possible losses
and things appear to have moved along now.  Well, I think they have.
The screen appeared to be stuck on a command in the patchstick for the
first mount but after a long time period t moved t the next step. This
could be of my own doing since I modified the "sleep 1" values in the
"Patchstick.sh" file to "sleep 1000".  My expectation though was that
the sleep increments are 1 millisecond (given the "sleep 10000"
setting at the end of the file) so I simply made it wait 1 second.
Apparently not, so now I have a longer wait (if "sleep 1" is 1 second
then I have ~17 minutes for each of the three spots that I modified).
