No I didn't I thought the "sudo mount -a" took care of that. but now I'm in
deeper do-do. I've mucked around with the BE setup storage directories and
trying to exit I'm told that all the paths to recordings, videos, banners,
etc do not exist. How do I restore this? What I did was add a new directory
and later remove it.
