You can rename eg. "data/VERT.qwk.deadbeef.bad" to "data/VERT.qwk", and the system should notice the .qwk file and try to import it. The .qwk file should disappear after it's been imported.

Here's my "unbad.js" script that I call via jsexec every so often when .bad files pile up in my data dir and I'm too lazy to investigate why:

directory(system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk.*.bad").forEach(function (packet) {
 while(file_exists(system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk")) {
   writeln("Waiting 3 seconds ...");
   mswait(3000);
 }
 writeln("Copying " + packet + " to VERT.qwk");
 file_rename(packet, system.data_dir + "VERT.qwk");
});
