I've gotten a bit further; another ePub attempt is attached.
What should I be doing differently with my toc.ncx file? My present attempt
reads:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ncx version="2005-1" xmlns="http://www.daisy.org/z3986/2005/ncx/">
<head>
<meta content="urn:uuid:e9f75adf-f0a2-4a30-b113-b146871f16e5"
name="dtb:uid"/>
<meta content="0" name="dtb:totalPageCount"/>
<meta content="0" name="dtb:maxPageNumber"/>
<meta content="2" name="dtb:depth"/>

ePub Checker is giving me the output below:
