Ok, I got this figured out too.  All my biblios imported with a "homebranch" of "MAIN".  I added a branch called "MAIN"  and viola! :-)

The only remaining issue at the moment is when I go to the "moredetail.pl" page, the title and author don't show up.  I'll report back when I get that figured out, unless someone has some hints in the meantime.

As you may have noticed, I don't really mind having a conversation with myself as I figure this stuff out.  Hopefully posting this stuff to the list will help someone else in the future as they go through the same process.

Thanks,
Derek
