On the chance it might be the camera, hooked same to verified trusty windows PC laptop and shot a 1000/1s sequence with sharpcap, no issues.

ASI294 test on the pi next.

Same behavior with the ASI294 (USB 3.0).

Can only conclude there is coding issue/bug with the ZWO driver/Ekos since it fails:
- on 2 different pi's with old and latest updates respectively.
- 3 different USB drives and the OS SD card
- on local storage only, but works with remote storage.
- with two different ZWO cameras, 120 USB 2.X and 294 USB 3.X
Time to buy a mini-PC. Something I was hoping to avoid.
Thanks for all the inputs folks!

Actually this looks suspiciously related the the "leaking file descriptor" due to Phonon. Go to Settings --> Configure Notifications, and turn off ALL sounds. Then try again.

Ekos is now capturing and recording properly to the USB drive.  Steps to accomplish:

- Fellow club member suggested to use Ubuntu vs. Raspian
- I mistakenly used Ubuntu Mate.  Wifi was present but refused to connect to anything.
- Then installed Ubuntu, fixed wifi. 
- Wireless keyboard stopped working, switching to Gnome Xorg desktop fixed.
- Remote desktop would not work.  Fixed by installing secure SSH.
That's it for now.  Thanks for all the suggestions folks.  Quite the whack-a-mole project!
