There is normally 2 lines for the autocreating, 1 for echoareas and 1 for
file echoes, and it is used for your uplink in the links section in the
config file and you have to set another command to be use too.
Like:
link Janis Cracht
aka 2:261/38
ouraka 2:236/150
password xxxx
level 100
autoareacreatesubdirs off
autofilecreatesubdirs on
autoareacreate on
forwardrequests on
advancedareafix on
forwardpkts on
linkgrp FIDO
echoareadefaults -a 2:236/150 -g FIDO -b squish -lr 20 -p 90 -dupecheck
move -dupehistory 70 
autoareacreatedefaults -a 2:236/150 -g FIDO -lr 20 -p 90 -dupecheck move
-dupehistory 70 -b sqish 1:261/38 -def [downlinks to get the new echo from
you]
autoareacreatefile /path/path/areas.config (the file where my echo area is in)
autofilecreatefile /path/path/filearea.config (the file where my file echos is in)
forwardrequestfile /home/ftp/backbone/backbone.na
forwardfilerequestfile /home/ftp/filegate/filegate.xxx

The forwardrequest work both for your self and downlinks so it add echo
description on new echoes and checking for echos can be found if a link
request a echo on you system.
By if you request a echo list for your uplink you can self made a file like
uplink.lst for your uplink.


  Take care,
