This appears to be identical to the group reply addresses. Am I
missing something?

You've sent a lot of messages, but none of them contain the
information that is asked for in the man page or at the web site
(http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html). I publish this link
at least once a week. In particular, I want to see the history file.
In many cases where it's missing, it shows that somebody did something
wrong.
Publishing your findings on the web as a maze
of links doesn't make it any easier. Nor does a configuration file by
itself. From the link mentioned above:
What not to supply
------------------
Please don't supply the following information unless I ask for it:
* The output of the vinum printconfig command.
* Your Vinum configuration file, unless your problem is that you
can't start Vinum at all.
...
It takes a considerable amount of time looking at problems like this.
Don't make it more difficult than it has to be.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Not unless you can show why you should do so.
