Ok, I fixed the problem, but I need to know why it worked. What I did was
grant the masks_adm user all access rights to the masks_user table. I had
not realized I had changed the user that accesses the tables at this
point....the confusion though has to do with the fact that the masks_user
table is not accessed in that ENTIRE php script! The querry at the line that
errors is "UPDATE link set hit_count=hit_count+1 WHERE key=$link;" and a
"grep masks_user directory.php" turned up nothing.

There is a foreign key to masks_user but it is not used in this querry....is
that the thing of it?
