At present, I have the correct answer above.

In retrospect, I think that my migration wasn't as sensible as it is
described up above.  At one point, I vacillated on whether to call my
server "PW" or "pw".  I think that I had changed the name of the
server to lower case temporarily while moving groups over.  I'd bet
that's the source of the funkiness.

Thanks again.
