I have the correct layer selected, opacity and flow are both set for 100%, and the brush size is adequate for me to see (what should be) the results.
What on earth am I doing wrong? I have worked PS for YEARS and never encountered anything like this before?!?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Dave, mouse is away.
I can see the brush tool, and it moves on the screen image as I direct. But nothing disappears! It's as though the tool is defective somehow.
If I wasn't so stressed, it might be amusing. :-O
maybe even reboot with the tablet unplugged, then restart again with it plugged in. let the os re-recognize it...
what brand of tablet? latest drivers installed?
The computer is brand new as of last Friday with everything being a fresh install with all the latest drivers and updates. It is a Wacom Intuos tablet. Don't worry, I'm not offended by the "right end" comment. And yes, I am using the correct end.
Like I said, I can see the tool indicator moving across the image exactly where I am trying to erase...it's just that nothing actually erases!
So far, I have closed and restarted PS, rebooted the entire system, and unplugged and plugged in the tablet. And, the problem is not specific to this image file. The "brush" mode does not work on any image with the "eraser" tool selected.
It's a conundrum wrapped in a mystery tied with an enigma.

No help? Try resetting the brush tool from its drop-down menu. Or go into the brushes Panel and experiment with toggling shape dynamics.
No help? Unplug the Wacom and check the behaviour without it.
