THANK YOU! Yes, this was the problem. I can't tell you how many times I 
looked at this. It is often some stupid typo or missing param that's the 
culprit. That's why it's so helpful to have other eyes giving it a once 
over.

Both of these are baffling to me also, but they now take a much lower 
priority since I got my app working. :-)  Anyway, how often is there an 
unintended side-effect where you actually *save* file space? (BTW, 
reading and saving on the same volume).

Thanks again for taking a look and spotting the obvious.
