But then I wonder how you extracted KoboRoot.tgz from the original firmware update file; and also from the KSM 08 package.

You are spot on correct! Evidently, MacOS will automatically extract a nested archive if it is the only file in the containing archive. I usually do these from the command line, but this time I let the Mac "help" me.
The other thing that threw me a bit was the size difference between the KSM08_ext_aura_one_03b.zip file and the KSMStartMenu_08.zip. I understand completely now that it's just a subset archive.
I'll try it again soon. I have to relinquish it to my wife for a few days as it's my b-day gift (that I ordered for myself - she was a good sport and let me play with it a bit)
Once again, thank you very much for your assistance and for the quick diagnosis.
