So, I downloaded the new version, but when I put the new files in  
place, the version still shows as 0.18.6.

I tried completely deleting the elasticsearch directory, including all  
data and config files, and putting new ones in place, and it _still_  
shows 0.18.6.

What am I missing here?

You are running the wrong version, nothing magical here. Its either you are  
still running from a 0.18 installation, you you did not download 0.19?

I believe this problem was related to the "service" utility. Deleting  
it and re-installing the service, plus completely deleting the entire  
elasticsearch directory finally got it to start.

I'm still having the problem with the master refusing connection from  
my remote slave. Is there any enterprise support I can pay for to fix  
this problem?
