You did not get the login error the second time because the
program checks for duplicate uploads before it tries to login.

I think we covered the login issue in the phone conversation
between me and Tabby.  But I don't recall a resolution.

I've changed the cookie timeout to an hour to correspond with
the login timeout.  This means that your logins should
be good for up to an hour of inactivity.  (I think this
change has been in effect since our phone conversation.)

Please let me know if there's still a login issue.
