Allan, When I have let 508 ferment, I did it without the leaves in it and it did ferment to a defferent odor, sort of like letting cooked rice go bad, but not a rotten sulfur odor, which would indicate strongly anaerobic conditions. Just my experience (somewhat limited with this). Also, I thought I remembered something about storing this in glass in a window, but maybe I am wrong. Did Courtney tell you to store it in a crock out of the light.
