Excellent!  That was the missing information I needed, thanks much.  I
had been doing everything on the command line, so it only looked like
a directory.  It opens with skim just fine.  When I tried to open it
with Acrobat Professional (8.1.0) I got "a Macintosh system error (-1409)".

Great!  That worked!!!  The notes are indeed embeded into a PDF and
Acrobat reads them.  If I add notes using Acrobat and write them out
... Skim happily updates automatically - it's pretty cool to watch.

Thanks!
