If a point calls binkd should indeed send everything that is inside the defined outbox.

Is there anything in /home/vdesktop/DOS/DB/QUEUE/N-POINT.001?

Are the permission on the directories and files correct (Ubuntu's / Debian's binkd runs as the user ftn by default)?

And what is this N-POINT.001 directory anyway? It's not BSO. How would it be named if the mail is directed to a point of another node or a node that hasn't a defined filebox?
