Thanks, Gary. First, I have downloaded the VirtualBox User Manual 3.0.4
and read it (or at least the relevant chapters) before installing VB,
Windows 7, or the User Additions. But vboxsvr was not one of the options
listed.

After reading your response and re-reading the sub-chapter I realized
that I should not assume that vboxsvr would show up and I did as you
suggested. (What a strange thing to do.) Worked like a champ. My share
is now available.

Thanks so much for dragging me to the obvious destination. It's great.
