okay that fixed it.  To be clear:

BBFILES ?= ""
BBLAYERS ?= " \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta-yocto \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta-intel \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta-intel/meta-cedartrail \
   "

instead of

BBFILES ?= ""
BBLAYERS ?= " \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta-yocto \
   /home/jim/poky-edison-6.1-M2/meta-intel/meta-cedartrail \
   "

Now if this is the way it remains, we have some docs to cleanup.
