Gustin - thanks very much for your suggestions from three weeks ago on
how to troubleshoot the above error when starting LXC.  I did check
permissions on all files, tried root filesystems downloaded from
different sources, and followed up on every idea I could find in various
Lcx tutorials online.  Good to know about strace but its output didn't
indicate which device the process is failing to open.

Lxc starts normally now under a fresh install of Debian sid.  Although I
don't know what is different, maybe the issue was somehow caused by
running the original host systems (Voyage .6 and an install of Debian
Lenny I tried next) under kernel 2.6.32 to get the kernel features
required by Lxc, rather than under 2.6.26 which is standard with Lenny. 

Thanks again.
