SUCCESS !!!!

The to-from mapping in the branch definition wasn't right (my bad, you
warned me earlier when you said " modify this as needed if I guessed the
path incorrectly ")
I think I finally understand what's going on.  When one says...
    "p4 unshelve -c 1234 -b somebranch"
what they're really saying is...
    unshelve the changes in CL# 1234 which you will find in
the area identified as the "from" part of the mapping specified in
branch 'somebrahch' "

I was confusing the idea of a branch being akin to some subset of a depot
(soc_tb or sqf_test in my case) when it's really a mapping definition
between the two.

Thanks Again for all the help Sambwise. 

(got to take all this down in my notes :-) )
