Found the problem. As good as Apple's user interface for OS X Server is, 
sometimes you see a slightly different picture when you open up terminal and 
run ls -la. Once I remembered what the letters meant, I was able to figure out 
what needed to be fixed.

Now it is on to setting up a data source on this box. My experience was always 
with ODBC, but my sense is that JDBC is the way to go in today's world. 
Planning on continuing to use MySQL, or possibly look at PostgreSQL. For now 
I'll be porting over my existing system which runs under MySQL.

Is JDBC the way to go?
