Based on that, I foolhardily tried this:

chown rabbitmq /var/db/rabbitmq/mnesia/bunny at sally/msg_store_transient

$ sudo service rabbitmq start
Warning: PID file not written; -detached was passed.

That was the issue. I thank you.

Yes: http://www.freshports.org/net/rabbitmq/ (disclosure, that's my website)

I have a feeling that errant file may have been created by my own misdoings.  But I'm willing to test that by trying this again on a new host.  I'll report back soon.

[I apologize for the rude things I said while trying to get this working...]
