Sorry, i added the "r" in a previous post by mistake. Once you enter the forest, it's tough to see the trees anymore.

ls -lh /usr/bin/cups/backend/

  -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5.2K 2008-09-19 08:34 filewrite

it seems to find and load filewrite, then claims there is no such file or directory.  Usually when i get stumped, it's almost always a permission issue, but i'm stumped again.

Thanks a ton for all the input so far.
