Steve, 

We are consumers of data from a resource we don't have control over.  Getting 
that resource on Globus would be wonderful though,

It's the Human Microbiome Project.
http://www.hmpdacc.org/resources/data_browser.php/

They provide public FTP and HTTP download, getting them in as a public data 
source on GO would do the community a lot of good.
