Solved! Ahhh... =) I would be willing to bet my issue was with the "./dir_name". I believe I tried $HOME, ~, dir_name, with the origional gschemrc file. Had I tried ./dir_name it probably would have worked. It is nice to know that gschemrc has been dated with gafrc. Thank you
Additionally... Thanks to Werner for the link to http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:tragesym_tutorial This also was much more helpful the the link I had followed to http://www.h-renrew.de/h/tragesym/tragesym.html The wiki tutorial on tragesym should also be updated to include your helpful steps.
