James,

I am actually running this not through apache but from the command line via
php import.php.

I have a conf file in my home and the roots home and also put on in
/usr/local/etc.  Ok, dumb question, my head has just been in a fog but by
setting TDSDUMPCONFIG that will force where the conf file is looked up?  The
var isn't set as I can't echo it.

Thanks again!
