Mike I'd check the downlinks have a filebox enabled for each of them, without that Mystic won't know where to place the hatched files. Check the downlinks/echonodes are also linked to the file areas you are wanting to send to them. Presume you have set up a TIC password against each echonode also?
For the file boxes you want to set to 'yes' or 'hold' if you want them to poll your HUB for the files.

Yes you can do that, then you're essentially calling it with MUTIL to get the files hatched via that function.
MD> How should the file be written to make it work?
I'll have a bash at it and post something here in the coming day.
