Daniel, thanks for your reply. I had used the definitions found in ser_mysql.sh (omitting some fields I'll admit) and comparing those with the fields in the various examples; one problem turned out to be white space in (type,null) definitions in the examples. There also were extra fields not included in the ser_mysql.sh script but requested in the diagnostics. Anyway, it works now and for those who want a quick start I'm posting the contents of 'ser.cfg' and the database files 'version', 'subscriber', 'aliases' and 'location' (stripped of actual entries).
