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.
