OK.  What do I look for in there?  Here's a recent sample:

I have this:

Upload packer:   <blank>
Download packer: copy $DOWNFILE $PUFFER

All the other dropdown options for the "Download packer" referenced  
archivers, so I avoided those.  "copy.." was the only other choice so as  
to avoid the screetching banshee.

What is the baffling part?

Meanwhile.. I noticed in LOG/ERRORS.LOG:

I saw this last one following a NODELIST delivery today.

Gotta give you marks for perseverance.
