That is why I am so confused.  I run the expire commands from minivend (command
line) and minivend (cron) ("minivend" being the owner of the minivend
installation) and get the same error message.

I looked in the docs, and got the impression that this the Right Thing To Do. 
And now you verify it.  Can anyone think of another possible cause?

Also, now many of my customers are getting Internal Server Errors (premature
end of script headers) when the place an order.  Strange thing though, is that
the report file is being mailed.  This is resulting in double orders for some
students.  I'm really at a loss to explain what is going on.  Since the report
is being mailed I would think that the cart would be cleared, but it's not,
because they are able to resubmit the order again (and again, and again...)

If someone would be so kind as to send me the permissions and files the use to
track sessions in a working catalog (I assume everyone heeds the warnings in
the catalog comments and sticks to the defaults) that I might be able to look
at, for reference, I'd be much obliged.  Perhaps I missed something critical
building all those templates :(
