Hi Chuck,
I forgot to put here, but my files are named like this:
camera1-dist.conf
camera2-dist.conf

A raspberry pi only has a single real USB port.
Each camera typically requires/allocates about 3/4 of the bandwidth of the
usb and the next camera fails its allocation and will not work.
On a desktop you need to add USB cards (and most usb cards only have a
single port) so 1 port per card and it really becomes a big mess fast.
If you have gui running then you can install and run usbview you can see
the usb ports and see how the bandwidth is being allocated.
There are some rare usb webcams that allocate much less bandwidth, but they
are very rare.
IP cams may be better if your PI has a gbit port and if you buy a gbit POE
switch and use POE IP cams.
