   That sounds like it could be access related and maybe a chown would help:   
      
   sudo chown -R bbsuser:bbsuser /mystic   
      
   You would replace "bbsuser" with whatever user/group that is running Mystic   
   BBS.  If you don't know the user you can type "whoami" to see it and "groups"   
   to see a list of groups you're in.  For example I login as "me" on my computer   
   so it would be:   
      
   sudo chown -R me:me /mystic   
      
   You might also want to go into /mystic/data/ and "rm chat*.dat".  Afterwards do   
   a "ls -la chat*.dat" to make sure there are no chat files left.
