First, thanks to Andrew and Greg for lot's of troubleshooting 
suggestions... I figured out what was going on. Albatross and mod_python 
were fine... the issue was with some of my page modules that were 
importing and using StructuredText. I hadn't moved that package to the 
server. Unfortunately, Albatross was not passing the error up to 
apache... it was just returning the default "Oops! URL home not found." 
error, and apache was logging a 200 instead of a 404.

There really wasn't any way for me to figure out why it was failing.  I 
was looking at all the code for the umpteenth time and saw the "import 
StructuredText" and bang! I tried putting that module on the server. 
Everything works fine now.

Is there any way to get those types of error propogated? Of course now, 
I know what these mysterious symptoms mean!

Thanks!

Brian
