Ok.  I have added the callback parameter and found that some of the  
files are experiencing problems uploading.  I am wondering if I need  
to create a folder before I upload files into it.  An older version  
of this stack used to create a dummy file in a non existent folder.   
Could this be my problem?  The folder seems to be created anyways,  
but maybe it is getting created after my program gives up on the  
upload and thus certain files are not making it up.

Some of the files are over 40MB.  Thus I chose this method.  Some of  
the smallest files are failing.  Size does not seem to be a factor.
