I double-checked and it was disabled BUT I don't remember whether I
ran a yum clean all after I changed it (nor do I remember exactly when
I changed it), so I did a yum clean all and ran another yum update
(there weren't any).

Ah. Okay, that makes sense.

I did a reboot after moving the directory yesterday afternoon, just to
make sure that everything works cleanly.

Yes, the toaster ran happily overnight and was still fine this
morning, so it looks like all is well.

Well, at least we found the problem and resolved it relatively
quickly. Thanks for the assistance! When you're a one-gal IT
department, outside help is greatly appreciated when running into
these sorts of situations. There's too many things on the server side
of things that only come up once in a blue moon and I just don't
remember exactly how to resolve them without a little assistance.
Sometimes my Google-fu suffices but, for the times when it doesn't,
lists like this one are essential!
