The last suggestion to set the proper owners and permissions resolved the issue. Somewhere along the line the permissions get changed. Everything is working correctly. Thanks Tom for you help in resolving the issue.

Tom, I think this may be it! I did not install Progress from scratch. I copied it from our existing system from which we are mirgrating to insure we run with the same version/ patch level. I will try and reset the permissions. I assume that all "_*" files should carry the same permissions as...
