That was it!  Excellent catch, Roger.  In each of the directories, I
found a .test file, created at 19:52 on 1-Nov-2015.  I deleted them
all and restarted the backend and the error messages have gone away.
So it looks like something happened to the backend that caused it to
not be able to delete the .test files originally when they were first
created, and since then because they already existed, the test it does
of creating them was failing.
