I believe I know the underlying cause of this behavior, which is that I just reinstalled my OS. It's been months and months and months, since I've done a reinstallation, but I had a few nagging issues that wouldn't go away, and I decided it was time to do a little housecleaning. But I think I probably forgot about using the TDE control center to manage those paths. We'll see what happens here. I was pretty sure it couldn't be too hard, because it's been almost 20 years running my system like this, can't remember this happening before.
