Thanks Eric ... But I am still stumped.  What I noticed from the example you
gave was ...
1) The shell script filename had no period or extension.  I made that change
to no avail.
2) I changed the first line of my script from #!/bin/shell to #!/bin/sh (I
told you I was new at this!)
2) The example shell script was is /System/Library/StartupItems and was
called by its "unpathed" name without a path. My script is in its own
folder, somefolder, at the root level with 755 permissions.  As a result I
called the shell script by /somefolder/scriptname using the same syntax as
the plist (no leading period).

I still get the same permissions error as described above.
