   mbse always (at least here) updates the file after any changes to the echo   
   (Mbse) DB.  That has been the case from the first release I have used up to    
   the   
   latest (1.0.6).   
      
   If your system is not getting updated I suggest that you:   
      
   1.  Check the o/p from the error.log file and see if there is a msg about it.   
   2.  Check the file attributes to ensure that mbse has w (write) access    
   enabled,   
   i.e., using ls -la golded.*  you should see:   
      
   ------   
   [mbse@Applewood etc]$ ls -la golded.*   
   -rwxrwxr-x 1 mbse bbs  4784 Mar 25 18:51 golded.cfg*   
   -rwxrwxr-x 1 mbse bbs 16221 Mar 25 22:02 golded.inc*   
      
   -rw-r--r-- 1 mbse bbs  2048 Aug  7  2015 golded.log   
   -rw-r--r-- 1 mbse bbs  1026 Mar 28 13:55 golded.msg   
   ------   
      
   Linix distros can and do have different default file and directory creation   
   settings from the base standard and these can interfere with the way mbse    
   works   
   as I sometimes notice with Mageia.
