Found a problem with script:
Line 37,38 & 43 etc :
Remove line 37, replace all occurances of $MBSE_HOME with $MBSE_ROOT
My processing sits in /etc/maint which runs at 07:00 daily.
maint shows as:

# MBSE BBS Maintenance - Should be run from cron.
# updated 12/09/02 VBC - modified for newfiles/allfiles and reordered
# program execution.
# updated 31/07/04 VBC - test for user mbse at runtime
# updated 13/10/07 VBC - ad rm-f ???files.utf
# updated 14/11/09 VBC - removed 257-609 processing
if [ -z "$MBSE_ROOT" ]; then
export MBSE_ROOT=`cat /etc/passwd | grep mbse: | awk -F ':' '{ print $6}'`
fi
if [ "`id -un`" != "mbse" ]; then
echo "Must be run by user 'mbse'"
exit 1
fi
# Don't do maintenance if running on UPS battery power.

if [ -f $MBSE_ROOT/var/sema/upsalarm ]; then
exit 0

and etc/f/allfiles.diz :
=== Cut ===
All files at Air Applewood zip'd.
Updated 07:00 each day.
=== Cut ===
and etc/f/newfiles.diz
=== Cut ===
All new files (last 30 days) at Air
Applewood zip'd. Updated 07:00 (local).
=== Cut ===
The sleep 180 is a left over from when running with a dual 2 core E6600 but as
now running a AMD FX8350 8 core is not really needed but left in JIC (just in
case).
Can see the usage of having the date imbedded within the file_id.diz along
with
additional info so will mod it to cater as well as rebuilding the file.
