No, I cut and pasted.

It turns out that in my zeal to come up with a minimal example, I omitted 
"\score { \new Staff { \music }}.  My example compiled, but didn't generate the 
initial repeat bar line.  Putting it in makes it work.  Thanks for the info.

Do you know why omitting the \score info causes the initial repeat to also be 
omitted?
