[Ifeffit] Demeter will not start without admin permissions

[Jason Gaudet]

Thanks Matt, this was helpful in directing my troubleshooting.

Somehow, the problem seemed to resolve itself today without my
intervention.  So I'm again stumped, but I'm stumped with a perfectly
functional version of Demter again.  Maybe recent Java updates changed
something, or some other software update I'm too lazy to track down ...

So, trouble issue resolved, as mysteriously as it began.  Gremlins, clearly.
