Yes thanks it works now!  I accidentally didn't test without listescape 
as I claimed, it was still enabled by accident.

Come to think of it, this might affect moving folder trees to Trash and 
expunging it?  I think I had one user report problems a few weeks ago, 
and a co-worker just cleaned it up manually on the back end.  I didn't 
get a chance to inspect closely.
