I read my message and I want to clarify "My OS X ID is "501" so I didn't know 
how or if I should change it." I mean if I need to change the command, 
specifically the "1000" to "501" if I run it logged into Ubuntu. If I should 
just run them just as you wrote below in OSX then that is simplest.
Thanks
