Thanks, Chuck.  Right now I need an easy work around, like a way to 
give admin permissions to whups without changing the other apps or just 
wack the queues.  Actually, this is probably something that will need 
to be addressed in the future and might be a good time for inheritance 
in whups perms.  Would this be a good candidate for a bounty?   If so, 
would it be whups specific or horde general?  Thanks,
