Okay, in testing, I think it might have been something I did.  When I
removed my user from the list, I also selected 'none' from the
drop-down... I think that was what went wrong.. I'm guessing it set
the acl to none, then removed me or something... Odd... If anyone has
any input, let me know, I'll keep testing...
