    Thank you so much for your persistence.  It worked! 
    I copied it to the root.  Starred the copy.  It then appeared in the "Starred" folder. 
    I deleted the original.  Then I moved the root version back to its original folder location (preserving the starred status)...and wow it appears in the Starred folder.   Much appreciated.

Instead of moving the file itself, does a copy of the file experience the same issue?

 

Does the file have a password, or any other special permissions on it?
