I owe a correction and more information.  The database file ended up on the
root drive (a ReiserFS partition...).  Anyhow, I found the method to call
the Shotwell with the debug commands.  And here is what I receive:

L 13887 2010-09-07 23:29:14 [MSG] main.vala:69: Verifying database ...
L 13887 2010-09-07 23:29:14 [DBG] DatabaseTables.vala:291: Database schema

L 13887 2010-09-07 23:29:15 [DBG] main.vala:181: 0.747172 seconds to
Gtk.main()

** ERROR **: AppDirs.vala:106: Unable to create temporary directory
/home/kjernigan/.shotwell/tmp/13887
aborting...
Aborted



The folder   /home/kjernigan/.shotwell   links to the folder
/usr/share/shotwell/.shotwell

Both users are members of a group that has full read/write access to the
/usr/share/shotwell/.shotwell directory.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ken
