Ulli,
Thanks for getting back to me on this.

This I think you have provided me with the key: only one or two messages
in the scant email traffic on this problem say "must have the same
path". Oh. Which path??? Location? File system path to repo???
Proxy sync path? Something else??? Arrrgh. Thank you VERY much for
disambiguating this for me.

Wonderful -- I'd seen a hint about this "confusion", which to me sounded
like a bug in the code whereby it was using the wrong frame of reference
for creating these paths.

I bet it will!
Thanks again for your very detailed and clear explanation of not only
what to fix but why. I'm sure this will put me on the path to success!
