I figured out what the problem was.  I didn't realize that the 
encryption password had to be entered into the config and that you issue 
the NON-encrypted password on the command line.  I was doing it the 
other way around.  Instead of issuing the plaintext password on the 
command line I was entering the encrypted password there.

I feel really lame now that I think about it.  It makes much more sense 
the way it works. LOL

At any rate, I appreciate those of you who submitted their comments and 
help.
