That is all good.

I suppose

I could start over. Is there a way to generate a new board from a

schematic? Would that fix anything?

No, probably not.  I'm still not clear what is broken.  I guess this

the heart of what you are doing:

..R3 to C2, instead of all the way over to C1. I used "Wire" and not

"Net" to create the schematic. I added the jumper after creating

the schematic by deleting a section of wire and re-wiring through the jumper.

This is still not clear.  When you delete a section of wire in the

schematic, the schematic assigns a new random name to one of the

resulting nets.  Then when you add a jumper, I assume you are

connecting one of those nets to one pin and the other net to the other

pin.  If you want to back up and give it another try, go back to the

schematic and delete both the wires to the jumper.  Then use the

"info" tool to determine the net name for both nets that you had

connected to the jumper.  Those names had better be different, or else

something is wrong with your schematic.  Then re-connect the jumper in

the schematic.  Again check the net names on both sides of the jumper

to make sure that are still different.  Then go to your board.  There

should be an airwire to each pin of the jumper.
