I did a fresh pull from git, rebuilt, re-installed, ran update-provision,
and it appears to be working now.  Permissions are a little odd:  It used
to be that I could run as myself and use the --password argument, and
successfully add or remove DNS records.  Now I need to run as root (sudo),
and then it works fine.  Not sure what happened (could even be a mistake in
my process somewhere), but it appears to be fixed.
