Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.  /usr/share isn't on the root 
filesystem.  The share subdirectory is on the /usr filesystem.  As you can 
see 

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/usr/share        /usr/share              ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/data             /data                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner    0 0
LABEL=/opt              /opt                    ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/usr              /usr                    ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/usr/local        /usr/local              ext2    defaults        1 2

/etc/fstab listed /usr after /usr/share.  I hadn't thought about it, but I 
suppose that the filesystems are mounted in the order listed in /etc/fstab.  
Moving the /usr/share line to after /usr in /etc/fstab seems to have resolved 
the problem.

Thanks again,
