Hi Phil, You helped me with the most important part (sorry for not reading the manual page).
I used the following additional options: -DgeneratePom=true -DcreateChecksums=true and now the pom and md5 were generated and when I scp ed the new structure over from local to shared repo all became well again. BTW I think someone should add an FAQ entry regarding "[DEBUG] Skipping disabled repository" or "why is my module not being found in my repo". Thanks again for the terrific help.
