   Sorry it's been a while since I made my OP- real life interfering as   
   usual.   
      
   Well, I didn't have to do anything as drastic as you suggest, but   
   similar. I named my /.pan directory .pan.bak and got Pan to recreate the   
   directory. One by one I copied across the old Pan files and, as these   
   things will do, it was the very last file I copied that b0rked it again.   
      
   The file 'tasks.nzb' must have somehow become corrupted when the power   
   cut out momentarily. I deleted it and voila, Pan was running just as well   
   as it had ever done.

   That's what I wanted to avoid doing, but your reply helped set me on the   
   right track. Many thanks for that.

   You do not have to say anything, but it may harm   
   your defence if you do not mention when questioned   
   something which you later reply on in court. Anything   
   you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?
