I continued to have problems until I figured out one more important thing: 
The different parts of the pattern are joined by boolean AND, not boolean 
OR.  I had been thinking in terms of OR -- big mistake!  I had one role 
that looked at folder, but also at participant:  I thought it would work 
for folder OR participant, but it required both folder AND participant. To 
do OR, I need to list two roles consecutively with one doing the folder 
pattern and the second doing the participant pattern.
