The loop was just a way to add multiple addresses.  Didn't realize 
multiple could be added on the same line.  The CIDR was also argument 
confusion from an example.  From the help message thought the IP and 
network was needed.

I reran with all the IPs on a single line, same user, and got output 
messages that the IPs were already registered.  So I think we can assume 
that step succeeded:

Setting timeseries permissions.
IP 143.215.191.14/32 already assigned to example_user, skipping creation
IP 143.215.191.16/32 already assigned to example_user, skipping creation
IP 143.215.191.17/32 already assigned to example_user, skipping creation
etc

The mesh devices had to be torn down because the workshop ended. Still 
have my device with any relevant logs and will try to recreate the config.
