The answer I got from an expert is "don't name your LWRP anything but lower 
case letters or you will have a Bad Time."

Replacing my intercapping with all lowercase fixed the problem.  

Thanks!

Thanks.  I'm still getting an error.

(My resource is actually called  SpotliteWebServer).
my resource file is /resources/SpotliteWebServer.rb my resource provider is 
/provider/SpotliteWebServer.rb

When I call it like this

web_server_SpotliteWebServer "choice" do
  AppName "choice"
  ----SNIP----
end

uninitialized constant Chef::Resource::Webserverspotlitewebserver

The top of the resource is:

def load_current_resource
  @current_resource =   
Chef::Resource::Webserverspotlitewebserver.new(@new_resource.name)
   begin
    @current_resource.name(new_resource.name)
    @current_resource
  rescue
    Chef::Log.debug("Cannot find #{new_resource} in the swarm")
  end
end

I'm basically cargo-culting in some of these    

Thanks!

Brian

If you just use the libraries directory, it won't try to infer the name from 
the cookbook.

Example:
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/httpd/blob/master/libraries/resource_httpd_service.rb#L7-L8
