Ok, that makes a difference.  Which makes sense if you think about it. 
Thanks for the pointer.  However...

some of the labels came out ok, and some didnt.  I removed all the 
lables from all other classes and if I change the font color, they all 
change, but they never get the backgroud.

This happens regardless of the LABEL_NO_CLIP=1 setting.
