This was in fact the issue, the type of data structure in use.
Yall have been very helpful, and the data is all back and I am operational
on the new version of the tool. Sigh of relief!
I do think that perhaps there should be some better explanation of
"backend" in the documentation, being as the word is mentioned only once,
leaving me thinking I had stumbled into something serious....not what
mounted to operator error.
