I turned off SELinux, and that seemed to do it.
Thanks, I would have never thought of that.

The thing is - I had *tried* having the files in
/var/lib/pgsql (also /var/lib/pgsql/migrate). Maybe
they have to be in /var/lib/pgsql/data? I'm sure
ownership/rights were correct.

I'm going to rebuild this server for other reasons,
anyway, so, I'll find out, then...

Thanks again.
