Also, from my mtab:
Well, I was gonna quote that too, but apparently my entry in 
rc.sysinit doesn't record it in mtab.  I've got a message in the log 
to the effect that its already mounted or is otherwise busy.  I'd put 
that line in rc.sysinit a few (2-3) weeks ago, thinking it needed to 
be done earlier than the fstab driven mount.  I'll remove it from 
rc.sysinit and reboot for effects.

Done.

I also moved the mount of /proc/bus/usb to fstab while I was at it, 
and they are all recorded in mtab now:
---
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
---
But the response from sensors is still as I posted before, "Algorithm: 
Unavailable from sysfs"

tvtime still works, so thats promising.  Sounds like they (the Feed 
Bag Information folks) got something/someone(s) trapped on a plane at 
Dulles according to FOX News, who are of course makeing the usual 
mountain out of whats probably a molehill.

Next thing to check?
