Bingo! Thanks, Ruslan.

My problem was that I needed to *not* pre-create the empty database, but rather
to let rt-setup-database3.6 script do it for me. I had thought I needed to
pre-create the empty DB so that the RT user account would be able to access it,
but the script takes care of this just fine.

I must have done it the right way on my previous installations. Go figure.

In any case, this solved my problem, and I'm up and running. Thanks very much
for the quick response!
