Kaustubh, you sir win a prize. :)

After writing my last reply, I double-checked the location of .service 
files on my system and sure enough, there was indeed a 'system-services' 
directory. I saw other .service's in the old directory and figured that 
was were it had to go. Then, I thought, "wait, I am connecting to the 
'system' bus. Duh!".

Sure enough, I moved my .service file to the 'system-services' directory 
and it immediately complained of not having a 'User=' directive. I added 
one and bingo, it worked!

If you are ever in Toronto, Canada, I owe you a coffee. :)
