   Well this is a start at least! A47 has better logging as you can see which   
   can't hurt as we get this sorted out! :)   
      
   It looks like that file is getting removed somehow like you said which is what   
   Code=2 means.  Typically things like this end up being either a bug or   
   permissions related when it comes to the Linux version.  In this case no one   
   else has reported anything like this that I know of, so lets start with   
   permissions.

   It looks like you are running the BBS as user bbs in the group users, so I   
   would say first thing to try is: Shut everything down and do a chown to make   
   sure the user has permissions for everything:   
      
   sudo chown -R users:bbs /mystic   
      
   Now log in as the BBS user and see if the problem goes away. If that doesn't   
   work you could also try to do a local login as an admin to see if the problem   
   still happens:   
      
   sudo ./mystic -l   
      
   If the problem goes away when you login as a super user then its probably   
   permissions.  If you do the super user admin it might be a good idea to do   
   another chown afterwards just to be safe/make sure everything is owned by   
   the bbs user.   
      
   If any of this helps or not let me know and then we can try to figure out what   
   we can look into next.   
      
   Thanks!
