Yeah, not so much.

Spot on. I knew I didn't have the permissions. The question remaining, of course, is how to get them.
When I type:
sudo konqueror &
I get:
Code:
[1] 4037
$ Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-knoppix" is owned by uid1000 instead of uid 0.
Link points to "/tmp/kdecache-root"
Error: "/tmp/kde-knoppix" is owned by uid1000 instead of uid 0.
Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-root"
So, gentle warriors of obtuse German Linux builds, how would a mac guy like me crack the permissions on my lost+found file in such a way that I can read my data? I hereby promise that once I've got my files off this thing I will trouble you no more with insipid newbie tedium...

The previous command should have launched a Konqueror file manager window that was owned by user "root".
As for the error messages, you could try to change the ownership of the file or of the symbolic links themselves by using the chown command. You will need to type:
sudo su
to become the "root" or superuser in order to make these changes. Here is a man page on the proper usage of the chown command:

MY FILES ARE BACK!

Oh. Yeah. Duh. Once you pointed that out, I stood in the corner and ate paste for a while, then got about my merry business exactly as described.
And now, thanks to all of you, my files are happily ensconced on a mishmash collection of external drives, soon to be combined into a single happy, handy enclosure where I will back up scrupulously, never again assume the safety of RAID just because it's always written in caps, and avoid implementing technologies that I do not fully understand.
You all have my deepest thanks. I'm back in the saddle. If I could buy you all a beer, I most certainly would.
Thanks again,
Seth
