    I am thrilled to report that OneDrive support contacted me today and my issue has been resolved.  Unfortunately, the root cause in my case may be completely different others, but I want to share it here anyway just in case it might be of help to someone.

     

    As I mentioned previously, OneDrive support had identified and removed a second OneDrive for Business library related to my account, which had a 1 appended to the end of the UPN.  As it turns out, there was actually a 3rd OneDrive for Business library for my account, this one using a UPN with our 'domain.onmicrosoft.com' domain instead of our primary domains.  It seems that the 2 accounts were somehow conflicting when KFM tried to turn on, and causing it to fail. 

     

    So, even if they've already looked into a possible second library for an account having issues, it might be worth having them look again, this time for one using an onmicrosoft.com domain or alternate domain associated with your tenant.  

     

    I hope that helps!

    Steve
