   Hello Nicholas!

I had thought of that too. As a test I created the prefix path fido_ under
/home/mystic/files. I got the same response when running Mutil. It didn't
seem to matter if /home/mystic/files or /home/mystic/files/fido_ existed.
The docs led me to think that Mystic would create the prefix path specified
when a file/tic was precessed for an unknown fileecho. As in /fido_nodelist
when a file for say the nodelist file echo was received. Please correct any
misunderstanding that I might have.
