Eric,

I think I know what I was doing wrong.  I had the script I was 
writing/executing on the filesystem I was trying to snapshot.

Bad idea!!!!

I have moved my script to a drive I don't need to snapshot, and it seems to be 
running reliably now.

Before I figured this out, I locked up LVM so bad a couple of times that I had 
to cycle power on the server. :<
