what's weird is that if i set session.save_handler = mm, i obviously don't get the 
file error, but it still won't work.

here's another example of what i've tried...

mars:~/apache/htdocs/test.radom.org$ cat test.php 
<?
// create a new session
session_start();

// register a session-variable
session_register("bgcolor");

// Assign a value to the session-variable
$bgcolor = "#8080ff";
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Session Example #1</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="<?=$bgcolor?>" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" 
alink="#000000">

Welcome to a session-enabled page! The background color on the next page will be set 
to a stylish blue.<p>
<a href = "test2.php">Go to another session-enabled page</a>.
</body>
</html>

and 

mars:~/apache/htdocs/test.radom.org$ cat test2.php 
<?
// Resume session created in Listing 1-2
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Session Example #1</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="<?=$bgcolor?>" text="#000000" link="#808040" vlink="#606060" 
alink="#808000">

<?
// Retrieve SID from cookie.
print "Your SID is $PHPSESSID <br>";

// Display the value of the $bgcolor variable.
print "The persistent background color is: $bgcolor.";
?>


argggh!
