There is no refernce to same files in the description: fixOutbound.pl - remove
from outbound the echomail bundles not referred by any flow file.

I see some husky config examples with /var/spool/ftn but normally there is no
need to use that. Less complex configurations are easier to handle. I presume
that you have different path definitions in your configuration. One use the
symlink and one use the absolute pathname. Thats why the tool can't match the
pathnames.

I recommend to use no symlinks in the configuation. I have symlinks for quick
access if i do manual maintenance work but they are nothing that husky knows
about.

Regards

Kai
