Derek:

I was quite careful to verify that it wasn't running, so I don't beleive 
that's the problem, but thanks for identifying the meaning of that 
error- I'll check it very closely when I get home.  I'll also check for 
that lock file that's causing the "file in use" error when I restart.

"add-quotes command line from [my] terminal" - do you mean from the 
session in which I'm running GC?  I didn't know it was interactive! 
The debug output that I quoted came from running "gnucash 
--add-price-quotes <filename>" from a shell.  (note- this cron job has 
not been created yet, I'm verifying it will run from the command prompt 
first)  It sounds like you're meaning something else.  Can you clarify?
