   Thanks!  It turned out the central issue was my system rebooted in the middle   
   of a poll, leaving corrupt stuff in my echomail folders (determined this by   
   trying to unzip everything and a bunch of things would not unzip) which was   
   causing Mystic to soil the proverbial bed.  As it crashed, it was leaving those   
   .bsy files behind.  I cleaned out my echomail folders and now it seems to be   
   humming along.  I am describing this here just in case someone else searches on   
   the problem in the future.   
      
   I will remember the killbusy method in the future; I was using a for loop to   
   find the files and rm them previously.
