That is as it should be, mbse can't overwrite root's files.. :)
If you are always user mbse when you work with those files you'll never
have that problem. It's a good idea to delete that directory if it
exists the next time you build mbse and do that process again. You'll
never need ./SETUP.sh again. It's a good idea to run ./CRON.sh once
you get going, that crontab runs maint etc and you can add things like
bbs ads or other automated postings or setup polls.

Excellent! Once your all setup and put a nodelist in ~/var/nodelist and
run mbindex you should be able to send/recieve mail.

"mbout p f757.n153.z1" will create an outbound poll for my node.. :)
