Skimming this to make sure I didn't mess anything up... the above
caught my eye. I momentarily wondered if the inbox-for-pull file
should be in my computer's directory where the master .org files are,
or pointing to that file in my Dropbox folder. Checked the
documentation, which says:

#+begin_src org-mobile-inbox-for-pull doc

org-mobile-inbox-for-pull is a variable defined in `org-mobile.el'.
Its value is "~/vault/personal/home-notes/mobileorg.org"
Original value was
"~/org/from-mobile.org"

Documentation:
The file where captured notes and flags will be appended to.
During the execution of `org-mobile-pull', the file
`org-mobile-capture-file' will be emptied it's contents have
been appended to the file given here.  This file should be in
`org-directory', and not in the staging area or on the web server.

You can customize this variable.

#+end_src

So, whew. It should live in what I'm calling the "master directory"
where your computer's files are, not where you're staging for sync
with the phone (Dropbox in this case).
