Gerry, I've fixed my problem. Maybe it was more an ID10T problem than not, but to solve it I did two things: 1) rebuilt xastir from source (I'm using FreeBSD 6.3), and 2) turned map transparency up.
I think the xastir package I originally used did not like curl or something and never fetched the requested images. I've modified a few scripts from K5EHX to get other maps that N0R and N0Z and the .geo file output works well. I'm now seeing xastir fetch/wget the NOAA gif images and it appears everything is fb.
