Hmmm...
I was logged in as administrator...
Bruce, as we discussed on the phone, you'll want to be a user with administrative privileges. You can find this list by running qbusers:
> qbusers --list
total 4
---l jcg krmpbuicseyqg-vft [default]
asil jcg krmpbuicseyqgpvft Administrator
asil jcg krmpbuicseyqgpvft qube
asil jcg krmpbuicseyqgpvft root
asil jcg krmpbuicseyqgpvft system
Each user with the "a" in the 1st column has administrator privileges. In this case, the capital "A" Administrator would be who you would need to be logged in as.
Otherwise, if your installation has other Qube admins, you will need to log in as one of those.
You could then add small "a" administrator for the future.
