Well, I got it done. Actually, I hired someone I trust to do it and he came through in flying colors.
He was scheduled to come over and put the blackjack and rolled roofing ontop, so I was cutting one when he called and said he had a better idea. There is a probuct for roofs that is better for this situation: it's called weatherwatch - it's actually polypropylene roof underlayment that has an adhesive side. He put it on and the roof hasn't leaked since.
The only thing is: it needs to have a roller used on it immediately like lino - OK, they are vinyl sheeting, but I'm used to calling them lino. He waited till the end to roll it and by then there were a few bumps that were not easy to get out. This is the first time he's used that much (usually he only used it in roof valleys) so it was a learning experience for him too. But it doesn't leak. We've had several deluges since then and we are dry underneath. That's all that counts - my wife bought a futon for the room and we had to have it covered by a drop cloth every time it rained.
