Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, Kenny....

, Gracias. I finally got it after struggling for I will never tell how long! I was composing a "help, I'm stuck" post before a complete clean install thinking I had it all botched up again. Since I got Link2SD moving apps to the /data/sdext2 file (taking I will never tell how long) I was loathe to cry "Uncle". Took one last comparative look at your three files and lo and behold somehow I had add a carriage return causing a space between the last to lines of the install-recovery.sh file. Recopied, rebooted, wandered around for 20 mins hesitant see if that solved anything. It did of course and I danced around like a fool for a full 3 mins.
Maybe now I can quite dreaming of this thread.
I do have a couple of questions, should the Link 2SD app be also linked to SD card? What is the file intsdcard (with a date of Dec 69) containing a copy of the files in the internal storage files listed in the extsdcard? I know they're copies because one of the things I tried was deleting a couple and they were deleted in the both places.
Like the fool that I am, I'm already wondering if I ready to take on Market again.
Again, many thanks to you and all the wonderful, helpful folks in the eDGe MR Forum.
