 I infer that what was missing was to cd into the TB directory.

 I still don't like making the whole TB directory writeable by the user,
 much less putting it in the user's directory.  Under Posix standards
 software like this belongs in /usr/local/share.  I think I'll put it bach
 there and make only Data/Browser writeable by the user.  Maybe even
 symlink it into the user's directory as .mozilla-tor or somesuch.

 I'd actually like to make the whole machine image read-only except for
 .mozilla-tor, and impossible to remount rw, but I don't know how to do
 that.

 Each month I blow away .mozilla-tor and start fresh except for bookmarks.
