They look fine to me.  Of course I'm reading this with Notes 6.5, running on

      Many times.  Network glitches can cause the MV slave/master sync
      to go awry.  I've found the result of it in the mv logs, and could
      determine why they would not refresh, but could not determine how
      it happened ( I forget exact details at the moment )

      The last time it happened was 2 hours before I had to get to the
      airport to catch a plane for HOTSOS.  :(

      That time, dropping/recreating the refresh group fixed the problem.
