Ok, I am sorry for the verbose message, but wanted to make sure that I
got you all all the information. I had this working before I rebuilt my
systems to do a clean install of .15. I now it is something stupid that
I am missing so I thought that I would pose the question to the masses.
Why am I getting this?
