I'll do that if it really becomes necessary.

As neither the source files are being changed; date/time stamp isn't changing; and the backup files aren't being created, I thought maybe it's a permission issue, like it was with the other MOD I mucked with.

Both directories; admincontrolpanel and inlcudes; have permissions of 755. The contents of both directories have permissions of 644. I changed the directories to 775 and the two individual .php files to 775 and reran the installation .xml file. Still didn't get any error notifications, but the result was the same; no backup files created and the original files remained untouched.

Permissions on the directories and the two files have been reset back to what they were.

Is there a way to capture what's going on when the .xml file is run to a log file we can then examine?
