Hi,

I'm running into a problem making a new sandbox.  I think the root of the 
problem is that my default sandbox for my /sandboxes2 directory is no longer 
available, but I'm not sure how to procede.

Commands, error messages, and system info are attached.

Thanks for the help.

Two problems here. It looks like it may have made a sandbox, but it's 
incomplete since the v32bsupportos.nightly tree does not appear to have been 
mounted.

As for the problem with your default SB, your surmise is correct, this will 
cause problems for you.  Edit your .sandboxrc file and change the default to 
one that is present. Best to choose one that will always be present.

While you are editing, remove any references to the v32b_os_night sandbox you 
tried to make, then remove any remnants of the sandbox itself that may exist, 
then make sure that both your new default sandbox tree is mounted as well as 
the v32b.nightly tree and try again.
