After much hand-wringing, chmoding, chowning, trussing, and re-compiling I still could not get beyond this simple little problem. Alas, when double-checking my double-checks I stumbled across a nosuid flag in the vfstab. Silly me. As a thanks to all for the other recommendations I offer a bit of paraphrased advice from my sage friend Ockham: "What can be done with fewer assumptions is done in vain with more. That is, in explaining any phenomenon, use no more explanatory concepts than are absolutely necessary." Ockham's Razor -demian
