Thanks. It worked. I think the main problem was the spaces in the
backend=biber.
I had tried all the other changes at one point or the other but it never
occurrd to me that a space would be illegal.
Now I just have to get busy translating refs to biblatex form and I may be off
and running.

* Assure there is no blank in the backend=biber option when calling biblatex
from the preamble (you currently have "backend = biber")
* Your bibliography database is called "biblatex_style_guide.bib", not
"biblatex1.bib". So your \addbibresource calls the wrong database.
* Use absolute paths within \addbibresource, e.g.
\addbibresource{/home/john/myfiles/biblatex_style_guide.bib}
or even better, place you bib file in your TEXMF tree, e.g. under
.../texmf/bibtex/bib/mine. Then they will be found by biber without absolute
path.
