Okay, so then you are saying that even though the DROP TABLE and ALTER
TABLE RENAME went through correctly, the line after that bombed out,
tried to rollback the transaction, and gave me the error?

I definitely missed that warning. Are there any big warnings for things
that don't work so well within a transaction (BEGIN WORK; COMMIT WORK)?

Thanks. Off to rebuild a table.
