And I just tried supplying a session key, and that leaves me with the 
same diagnostic, but oddly it names my session key that it claims I need 
to name:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/cgi/session.rb:265:in `initialize_without_cgi_reader': 
session_key `ccr' should be supplied (ArgumentError)
         from 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action_controller/cgi_ext/session.rb:39:in 
`initialize'

One thing I also notice it I'm using stuff from what might be considered 
a rails area (action_controller).  Presumably this is not a problem...?

But I specify my 'ccr' key in the initialization, and then I specify it 
again to initialize when I don't see an instantiated session variable. 
Result is still I don't get my 'user_name' value up from the persistence 
file.
