Thanks for the help, David.  Notes inline below...

Can you clarify this for me?  My (admittedly limited) understanding is
that nginx passes everything non-ES to ckan-apache.  Once I switched
the CKAN apache instance to run on 8080 and set nginx to 80, I thought
that was it.

I've been deleting and re-adding the same test.csv as a new resource.
I also tried a new Dataset altogether but I keep getting the same
results.  I had celeryd running in a console during these tests and
nothing appeared there (not sure if something was supposed to).

This returned:

{"ok":true,"_index":"ckan-data","_type":"351d8e3f-f4cd-462d-8664-fe7c027ae21e","_id":"1","_version":1}

Success!  There's a preview grid with column "test" and value "data"
in the resource.

I was running celery via paster and nothing ever appeared on the
console after the startup message:

[2012-05-27 08:00:18,806: WARNING/MainProcess] celery at dataserver has started.

I uploaded several .csv resources during that time, as well as the
curl test mentioned above, but nothing ever showed up until I finally
terminated it with Ctrl-C.  Is there a way to make celery generate
more info or is it storing logs somewhere else?

Thanks again for your help!  Happy to see the {test:data} preview progress :-)
