That was it. I missed the setup_password parameter but set it in
config.inc.local when I needed to add the superuser. It never occurred to me
that not having that parameter set would keep config.local.php from working.

Am I missing how this config.inc.php vs config.inc.local works?

I was thinking that the values set in config.inc.local will over write values
set in config.inc.php but if a value parameter does not exist in 
config.local.php then the value in config.inc.php will be in effect. This would
appear to be wrong since the default config.inc.php was set to
$CONF['setup_password'] = 'changeme';

So my question is does config.inc.php get read at all if config.local.php exists?
It would appear not but I just want to be sure.

If my suspicions are correct then might I suggest indicating that in the
comments to avoid others getting confused.

Thanks for the help.
