guyboerje: Thanks very much for taking a look! I did three things that, somehow in combination, helped clear my issue. I'll include them here in case other folks are having the issues I had:
- I set permissions on the folder to allow reads and writes from all users
- I made sure that my simple log file had a new line/carriage return at the end
- I started using the DELETE _all command within the Dev section in order to clear out any weirdness that was in there
With each of those, everything looks to now work!
