   Okay, here is the snippet from the orignating system (the point) from    
   that log.  It shows only the one file request (00870073.req) being    
   generated and sent.  Not sure where that other .req file came from in    
   the original (binkit) log that I posted.  Also, in case it mattered,    
   that line complaining about missing 'areas.bbs', I created an empty one    
   and repeated the test with the same results.  Also, the timestamp    
   difference between these logs is because the sending system is on UTC    
   time.
