Yes, no mention of "Deleted file:" is shown in syslog (from the event server). I do see that when I run it interactively though.

I dont believe so.

My test FTN area (zone 10 "private") is only used by me - and if I am the only person posting a message, sbbsecho does it thing.

Here is an except from that time in question:

2025-06-02 15:42:49 Finalizing outbound packet from 12:1/2 to 12:1/1: /opt/sbbs/temp/sbbsecho/683d39d8.pkt

2025-06-02 15:42:49 Moving packet for 12:1/1: /opt/sbbs/temp/sbbsecho/683d39d8.pkt to ../fido/outbound.00c/683d39d8.pkt

2025-06-02 15:42:49 File (../fido/outbound.00c/683d39d8.pkt, 4.5KB) for 12:1/1 added to BSO/FLO file: ../fido/outbound.00c/00010001.dlo

2025-06-02 15:42:49 SBBSecho (PID 3545) exiting with error level 0, Packets(0 imported, 1 sent), EchoMail(0 imported, 2 exported)

2025-06-02 15:43:32 SBBSecho 3.27-Linux master/7276d373a Jun 01 2025 GCC 10.2.1 (PID 3565) invoked with options: -ce
2025-06-02 15:43:32 Configured: 7 archivers, 57 linked-nodes, 13 echolists

From this, I dont believe sbbsecho was running (and working on that .?lo) file at the same time binkit was reading it. (Binkit started at 15:42:50, when sbbsecho finished at 15:42:49.)
