[Geomoose-users] Catalog->group - can't get GM to start with group folder closed

click the folders and not having them work implies the problem is in the
names somewhere - either the folder names themselves, or between the folder
names and the names in the path to the map file or the map files themselves
I think.

somewhere in the linkages above, something is breaking down. try double
checking the  names in the mapbook catalog and the names in the paths that
they reference (in the list of layers).
