Sounds like you might have problem with your template for writing to tic.cfg.
From Seal.ini
[Template]
EchoArea="EchoArea  %15t %30p %10s %n"
EchoSpec=";EchoSpec %15t %-3a %5l %d"
FileSpec=";FileSpec %15t %-3a %5l %d"
EchoRescan="SQUISH RESCAN %t %a"
FileList="%12f %d"

[FileArea.Ctl]
Area=%T
Extra=
Upload=
TagDesc=No
----------------

There are also other parameters you can set in the template areas. Its been
a while since I set them up and I recall it was a grey area in the docs ...
but they were in there somewhere.

Also check the flags you have set in Seal for file areas.
Here's some more that might help you out.

If a nodelink requests an area Seal has to write the info about that area
so squish or tic knows what to do with that area.

Seal needs to write to those files for adding new areas, so read only may
not be a good idea. I use version .50 here and haven't had a minutes
problem with it.
