We finally figured out what it is. The auto-delete settings from broker.xml persist in the queue attributes even after you change broker.xml. Since the default for a new broker comes up “auto-delete false”, my tests created some queues that had that attributes, and even after I changed broker.xml they would not go away. Deleting all of the data made it all better. Thanks, John
