My bad.  I was doing something really dumb.  I thought  i posted a 
followup to my initial message, but i guess it got lost.  I was calling
the Get_config_* before the set_config_file call.  I didn't even notice
it until i set it aside and looked at it again a few hours later.  

sorry 'bout that.  It all seems to work great.  :)
