I just tried creating a text file (also with nano) with a single line, test.na:

FMAIL_HELP     FMAIL SUPPORT

It didn't import it. So I don't know what the problem is.

1) I've tried putting it in the same directory as fconfig and not using
directories.

2) I've tried typing out the entire directory structure to the file.

3) I've tried renaming test.na to backbone.na, and backbone.NA, with no luck.

With all of these options it obviously finds the file, or it would have told
me it couldn't.

Does your "Sysop Name" in fconfig need to match the user and/or group you're
running it with?

Regards,
Nick

... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
