OK, I'm out of it today. Yes, it was growl doing its job. I didn't see growl in the application's folder so thought I hadn't yet put it on this machine. So, spotlight came to the rescue, and foudn that in deed growl was installed and running. I turned of the alert for "open connection" in cyberduck and all that annoying startup chatter goes away.
