Bingo... yup its that line.

That one is ruled out now I guess since I set the directory 777 and
file 666 but still had the same error.

Once again... right on the money.

One more thing I'm checking next is the actual format of the line.
I remember having errors once the source being not having backticks
where they are needed in the stanza lines.  This one looks right in
that regard but I'll find one on someone elses *.mc and compare if I
don't see it in that readme.
