What I don't get is that I've done this exact same style of .bbappend for
other recipes and it works fine.  For example, I have this

   ${LAYER}/recipes-sato/gtk-engines/gtk-sato-engine_git.bbappend:
        FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
        SRC_URI_append = " file://adjust-sato-theme.patch "
        PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}"

This .bbappend file works perfectly :-(
