The File I changed was different than that in the link above. I changed "quiet splash" to "nosplash" in var/lib/ucf/cache/:etc:default:grub. A note in this file says to run update-grub after to update grub.cfg. I did this, but it didn't update that file (creation date didn't change).
I think that is just a backup, you need to change /etc/default/grub
...... it flashed a couple of lines on the screen and exited. Any suggestions?
Not without knowing what the error messages were, no.
You need to change the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="put your options here
then run update-grub
It probably did not change grub.cfg because it could not find anything different from the last time it was run

If I could step through update-grub, I might be able to see what's happening.

The file I'm running is usr/lib/grub-legacy/update-grub.
That confuses me, sounds like GRUB 1.9 not 2.0
Can you do a directory print of /boot
cd to it in a terminal and run something like
ls -ld $(find .) > contents.txt
and attach contents.txt that is generated.
