Okay - and the answer is: the problem was between the ears, as usual. I was hacking around in /usr/share/.... on my gentoo system instead of the hard-linked version of the files in /var/www/... bah. :-)
Sorry for wasting anybody's time!
Sometimes I don't waste enough of it and need a little help, so I for one am grateful ;)
By the way, in 2.* you will want to use your Global settings -> skins subtab to install the new skin so that you can use your Blog settings -> skins subtab to be able to select it. You may already have that part properly under control, but I thought I would add mention of that detail for the next user who can't find a skin they know is installed on their server.
Hey Ed,
Yeah, thanks, I actually found that part on some other thread already when I was trying to find why my skin wasn't there :-) I've got everything working fine now.
I selected b2evolution version 2.x in the posting form, but somehow now my post says I'm using 1.1 or so. Not true - my version is 2.4.something
