Answer 1

I can see your name in the list for ZNT.

1) Maybe the project is visible in your Paratext, and you can see it if you scroll down in the list of projects in send/receive dialog. (The scroll bars are not very prominent). You can also see more project names if you can make the send/receive dialog box taller, by dragging the top edge up or the bottom edge down.
2) If you have another project on your computer called ZNT , you cannot receive this ZNT unless you delete that other project. (You could back it up to  a file, then delete it, if you still want it after accessing the Zimba NT).

My mistake.  

I was not aware that I needed to first select the new  project by clicking the Paratext icon, then send/receive.   I was simply pressing the send/receive icon on top tool bar assuming it would find it automatically.  

All is good now.

I created a list of things to check when you do not see a project you have been added to. The limitation of the toolbar icon is #1.  

Before reporting you cannot receive a project
