Problem solved.  It turns out that I was playing around with the
Executor that comes on the NeXT third party demo CD.   This version
has a bug which causes the mac.fs directory to be renamed mac.fs.SAVE,
and hence mac floppies are no longer readable.  I renamed the directory
and everything was fine again.

A quick call to ARDI confirmed this. There is a new version of 
Executor on the archives which does not have this bug.  Note - 
I talked to Clifford Mathews at ARDI, and they did not have access
to a 3.0 machine before the deadline for the demo CDROM, so it
is not ARDI's fault - just "one of those things".  

I am very impressed by Executor!
