       So old files there are a pretty good sign of FTN sessions not   
   happening preperly or not being connected to the node that the files are for?    
   Easier to see in the ticqueue, since it's a single directory, but relatively   
   easy still to compare against the 'mbout sta' output.

      There's a separate issue regarding that as all of the public files areas   
   are/were kept in separate, from the Mbse BBS install,  directories, and that    
   it   
    turns out I didn't have a backup of.   
      
      So there are a lot of files in the BBS files database that are not actully   
   present.  Presumably I can take are of this by putting the files were it    
   thinks   
    they are but I need to decide which ones to to that for...
