The fact that commits are scheduled means you're writing into the 
starkit - is that your intention?

Did you wrap with "-writeable"?  Actually, I can answer that (just 
downloaded your starkit): nope, it ain't wrapped in a way which allows 
writing.  Solution, redo as:
	sdx wrap notebook2.0.1.kit -writeable

(Explanation: MK needs to be told very early on that it has to open a 
file as r/w, before the starkit is mounted - the "-writeable" flag 
generates a starkit header which does the right thing)
