mbout checks for the existance of a file to be attached.

Now if you are running mbout in the home directory eg, /opt/mbse and the file 
is in the same directory it will accept it but as mbfido does NOT run from the 
same directory it will not find it and will report an error (in the logs 
files) so you MUST supply the absolute /path/filename to mbout.

If this rule is followed then all should be well.

Note that the discription for the program mbout does not specify this but "The 
file must be in the directory range from where file attaches are allowed" 
which is somewhat confusing to put it mildly.
