Grrr!  OK, I fixed it.  But AddApp is not very friendly with its error reporting.
The problem was that I changed how I gzipped the AppDir and needed to update the extract= entry. 
But I didn't get that error message until I actually went to close AddApp completely (I had been 
keeping it open and just re-download until it success)

Maybe we need MakeApp to prevent dumb developer errors? :)
