Actually, I had a crontab job running the alarm and reminder scripts  
set to a different user.  Changed those to run as the webserver user  
and now the .horde/ansel directory is being created correctly.  Still  
getting the convert errors mentioned in the newer thread, but this is  
one less issue.

Thanks all for the help.
