I got that one and it was (I think) still complaining.  But I may have 
other issues ...

It makes sense, but I believe I screwed up.  Some of the site directories
you mention are one level up at the base site directory.  I think I created 
the site, but then gave a site directory of the site base in subsequent 
oi_manage commands.  But my site is working ... except for that removal.  
I'll have to poke around.  Since it's a single site, I may have just done
it that way.  So I have /usr/local/sites.  My site name (not real) is XXXX
and I have a /usr/local/sites/XXXX with only a Stash.pm in it -- conf, html,
logs, doc, data, cache, etc. are all under /usr/local/sites.

Assuming I did screw up (probably a safe assumption 8-), how safe is it to 
move things where they belong?  Or is it easiest to just re-run the site 
installation the right way?  I have not changed a lot but I have changed some 
aspects of the site.  I wouldn't want to lose those changes.  I can manually
change database entries if needed.
