[ Sanjoy, that worked, thanks ]

Sorry for so many questions.  I am a sysadmin trying
to reproduce an old TeX/LaTeX install with the modern
tex-live for our users.  I've not used TeX/LaTeX as a
user in about 10 years myself.

Install destination was /afs/rcf/apps/tex-live

I then dropped all of our older site-specific stuff in
/afs/rcf/apps/tex-live/texmf-local because that seemed
like the right place:

% find /afs/rcf/apps/tex-live/texmf-local -name JB\*
