OS upgrade drama: mountain lion bites MC Control -- RESOLVED

RESOLVED! (...sorta...)
thanks to everyone who helped out. here's what i did:
ran for the hills, rolled back to Eucon 2.6.1.
then re-copied an old Econ Bundle file (which, with huge props to stephentayler, i had kept saved in its own location) over the new one in library/audio/plugins/motu control surface.
MC Control load is MUCH faster now, DP launch is faster also. the only thing i sort of miss about Eucon 3 (for the few precious moments during which it kinda worked, a little) was that it very helpfully scrolled DP to the selected track. and we're talking 3 panes of the consolidated window: tracks, channel strip, and sequence (even tracks that were scrolled-below at the moment).
but heck, i'll take "works" over "tased into jelly" any day!
my thanks again to everyone on this board who generously gives time to share knowledge.

yes. i was afraid something like this would happen.
upgrading from snow leopard to ML (10.8.5) has taken out my MC-Control and i'm appealing for experiences or advice any of you all might have to share.
after some valiant tweeking and many a re-start (SSD... hmmm....), i've ended up with this:
- applied Eucon 3.01, no dice.
- performed plist-file trash & Eucon-relaunch sequence as suggested on an AVID faq. also, nada. this i did prior to...
- ...re-installed DP (8.05) -- Control Surface Setup offers eucon as an option. it is selected.
- the control surface will boot, tho this takes much longer than before. kinda distressing but better than it never mounting at all, which was happening for awhile there. i was actually having to go into EuControl Settings and move the discovered CS over to the list of My Surfaces manually with every re-start (ouch). happily that *seems* to have ironed itself out now.
- once the suface is up, it will "recognize" DP insofar as the words "Digital Performer" display in the upper left of the MC's touchscreen when DP has the focus.
- control surface loads my stored softkeys and they work, which makes sense under the circumstances.
- repaired permissions.
- but: but no tracks display on the touchscreen, the surface's transport, faders and track selection buttons have lost functionality.
if i go into Eucon in SysPref's, i can add DP to the (empty) list of applications there, but only have the choice of HUI or mackie control to associate (no Eucon). i managed to get some functionality back by choosing HUI this way, but only to a very limited degree -- just one row of tracks on the touchscreen, really nothing like what i enjoyed previously.
don't know whether this is significant but i've noticed that i'm no longer challenged if i want to accept incoming network connections when DP loads (i was accustomed to just "yes"-ing thru this at launch). but like'say, whole new OS here and i can't say if that means anything or not.
would be most appreciative of any suggestions!
all the best,
