MIF2Go issues

I am struggling with some online help. I hope someone out there can help me.
We have used Mif2Go to excellent effect for our last few product releases, but it was always handled by my genius intern. Alas! He has graduated and this seems far beyond my abilities, at least after 8 hours at it.

I have a relatively simple unstructured FM8 book (13 files including front matter and index, one text inset, no conditional text).
When I generate the OmniHelp output, I see two strange things:
* The output files never appear in the wrap folder even though WrapAndShip=Yes and the wrap folder awaits
* The ApplianceGuide_oh* files all end in .js

It's getting pretty late and I am going blind over this. Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong? I copied mif2htm.ini at the bottom of this in case anyone feels particularly sleuth-ish. I appreciate any help.
