[Koha] Zebra not indexing

Thanks, Mark.  My problem is that I'm not getting *any* output at all 
from the index run.  Despite the output on the screen, I get no records 
in any of the zebra index directories.  So I've got to have something 
even more basic not working quite right.  I just have not been able to 
track it down yet.

I did, just for test sake, try it as root as well.  Nothing that way 
either.

My install of Koha was from the tarball.  For Zebra, I used the CentOS 
rpm's.  This is all on RHEL6.  Tomorrow I'll try compiling Zebra to see 
if that might be where the problem lies.  Since Koha works but Zebra 
does not, that will be my focus.
