Error handling cleaned up and better use of logging instead of just
printing things.

Left this for the first pass.  If there's some agreement on my previous

a lot of uses right now are really only one vbd anyway.

I didn't actually find one that did what was needed for take the uname
to a filename, so I added one and use it both places I had the code.
