Hello again :)
I have achieved a level of joy with this issue.  My player is no longer
toast :)  I followed these instructions:
 Recovery mode of the Sansa e200

Recovery mode can be used to replace a bad .mi4 image on the player.

Accessing the recovery mode

    * Power off
    * Turn ON lock/hold
    * Hold down record
    * Insert USB cable 

You will find a 16MB USB drive now, this is the recovery partition.

I was then able to mount the player and remove the .rockbox directory.
I am going to play with this a LITTLE bit more.  Even though I'm pretty
sure I didn't, I COULD have made a dumb mistake before...  I will
report back with my findings.
