Update ... rebuilding the database brought back my playlists ... but starting empgps from the picker via preinit made the playlists go away again. ... rebuilding again now.

[note later]

rebuilding DB from jemplode produce blank playlist. now rebuilding from emplode...

If I can get this back in the next few minutes, I'll go through ftp and remove the empgps init script and see what happens.

I'm a little worried at this point.
