Thanks David,

No I did not use the fis init -f command.  I didn't even notice the
argument.  I will try this tomorrow and report if it works.

Did you use the fis init -f command?  That erases any old partitions you 
had.  If you then restart, the system should recreate the FIS directory 
and RedBot config partitions properly.
