Thanks Chris.   Wierd -  we have been running for sometime definitely 
with MSQL no SQLite data bases are around or created... and all the 
settings are for grid and the opensim MySQL db we are using 
fine.  but asset-storage said "local" in our opensim.ini.  maybe it 
was ignored ?

Anyway, I flipped it to asset-storage=grid in my test setup and it 
works fine.  I was just concerned there might be a performance penalty.

It would be great if this was made less confusing as Justin suggested.
