subject: Mutil duplicates file grp

I am experiencing unexpected behaviour with MUTIL's Import_FILEBONE.NA section.

My section's configuration is at the bottom.  The problem is that each time I
run mutil, the file sections are added over and over.  I'm using the
fsx_file.na file from the fsx package, but I get the same results with my own
file.  For the Import_FIDONET.NA, once the message sections defined in the
import file are added, they are not duplicated each time I run mutil.  Mutil
recongises that these groups are created and does not do it again.

But for the file sections, each time I run mutil, it adds the FSXNET Fileecho
List, over and over each time, resulting in a new duplicate each time.  I feel
this is incorrect, and that mutil should only add them if they don't already
exist.

I'm using Mystic BBS v1.12 Rev 47 on a Raspberri Pi running Debian Buster.

My configuration.

[Import_FILEBONE.NA]

        filename = ach_file.na
        lowercase_filename = 1
        root_dir = /mystic/files/

        ; Use echotag for base description and FTP name

        use_echotag = false

        ; Convert tags to lower case for filebase base filename/dir
        ; True or 1 for yes, false or 0 for no


        ; Default values when creating a new file base

        dispfile     =
        template     = ansiflst
        acs_list     = s20g5
        acs_ftp      =
        acs_download = s20g5
        acs_upload   = s255g5
        acs_hatch    =
        acs_sysop    = s255

        ; true/false type values 0=false 1=true (newscan 2=forced)

        new_scan      = 1
        free_files    = 0
        show_uploader = 1
        anon_ftp      = 0
