   I use the same version, but with Mystic 1.10w.. it's working fine here.

   Files are tossed to there config TAG name path and if the path doesn't exist   
   they are tossed to C:\ALLFIX\BADTICS\  here. Also, the badtics.log will tell   
   you the reason why things happen.

   Have you told your allfix what bbs software that your using it with? By running   
   fcomp.exe  will show you your bbs types or #255 use fileecho config.   
   Usage: FCOMP     
      
     BBS type:   
       0 - RemoteAccess 1.11            16 - SearchLight

       3 - Maximus 2.0x                 19 - Telegard 3.0   
       4 - Ezycom                       20 - TriBBS 10.x

       8 - PCBoard 15.2                 24 - QuickBBS 2.8x   
       9 - SpitFire                     25 - ShotGun Professional 1.38   
      10 - Telegard 2.7                 26 - Terminate BBS   
      11 - TriBBS 5.x                   27 - Magic BBS   
      12 - EzyCom 1.20                  28 - PowerBBS   
      13 - TAG                          29 - AdeptXBBS 1.11+   
      14 - Renegade v04-05              30 - BBBS   
      15 - RemoteAccess 2.5x/EleBBS     31 - Tornado BBS   
     255 - Use Fileecho configuration   32 - Telegard 3.10   
      
   Example: FCOMP 0 C:\RA   
   {PAUSE}   
   Press any key to continue . . .   
      
   In my case, since Mystic BBS is not supported by ALLIX .. I use...   
   fcomp.exe 255 c:\allfix   
   FCOMP BBS file area compiler for ALLFIX v5.13.004   
   Copyright (C) 1992,99 by Harms Software Eng., All rights reserved.   
   Processed 512 file areas.   
      
   But with Synchnet, you'd use fcomp.exe 21 c:\sbbs\data or something.. whatever   
   path your using for your BBS. Not sure if this will help you any or not :)
