Okay...

i had an issue with the walletpassphase. no matter what i did, i kept getting an error. so i thought maybe it doesn't like the spaces in my current passphrase, so that gave me pause to think that if it didn't like it in the concole, would i even be able to change the passphrase as it needed to be entered to change it. i changed it with no worries. then went back to the console and it worked, so perhaps it was that it did not like the spaces.

anyhoo, i have rebroadcast and hope my next report here will be that the transaction was completed.
