I agree about the directions. He is trying so hard, perhaps too hard. However, if one is willing to wipe the device and rebuild it, ignoring the backup stuff, things are fairly straightforward.

I StickMounted a USB drive containing a 5600 e-book Calibre library and I was able to access the library just fine. The cloud access on Calibre Companion works great. It's just what I wanted. Great app!

Glad it is working for you. And thanks for the compliment.

One final piece of advice, do I leave the tablet rooted with the USB debugging turned on or do I close this stuff? Will it interfere with the apps if I lock things back up?

You must leave the tablet rooted. If you unroot it then StickMount will stop working. You do not need to leave "Allow USB debugging" or "allow apps from other sources" enabled.
From time to time SuperSU will update and then tell you that it needs to update its binary. It manages the process itself via a reboot or two.
FWIW: When I rooted my N7 (2012) I didn't install BusyBox mostly to see what would happen. I haven't missed it yet, with the exception that NANDroid backups complain (mildly) about missing the BusyBox MD5 function.
