   You need to read again what I wrote more carefully (emphasis added):   
   "To point a Synchronet instance to a particular ctrl directory (overriding the   
   SBBSCTRL environment variable, if it's set, or the default path of /sbbs/ctrl),   
   you must pass the path to the relavnt ctrl/sbbs.ini file on the command-line   
   of sbbs (or sbbs.exe) or the *path to the ctrl directory* on the command-line   
   of   
   sbbsctrl.exe."   
      
   I did commit a recent change to support either the path to the ctrl dir or the   
   sbbs.ini file to both sbbs.exe and sbbsctrl.exe, but that's not how those   
   programs have historically worked (e.g. through v3.20d), so since you're using   
   sbbsctrl.exe, you need to remove "sbbs.ini" from those command-lines.
