Well, I though I had a solution.  I switched from the 4.9 kernel to 4.4
bone$ *uname -a*
Linux bone-5eca 4.4.91-ti-r137 #1 SMP Tue Nov 7 01:13:03 UTC 2017 armv7l 
GNU/Linux
and I still can't unexport the pins I want for the LCD.
bone$ *sudo bash*
bone# *echo 116 > unexport* 
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

I'm not sure what to try next.
