Ok, a bit optimistic that first attempt.  I didn't notice this error last 
night:

  mdev: unknown user/group ->
  mdev: unknown user/group ->

Which doesn't tell me which line of the config file it's objecting to (there's a 
couple dozen symlink lines, it objects to two).  Time to stick printfs into 
it...
