 What you are asking may be quite complicated. Makenl is designed to work
 in a weekly cycle. With some trickery you can make a daily list, but that
 disturbs the working directories of the weeklies as you have found.

 But I am not qualified to give a real answer, I would have to study the
 source code, I will leave that to those whoe are more familear with the
 internals of makenl, or you can do it yourself as well.

 My solution is to keep the setup as you have it, with different working
 directories for weeklies and dailies. Create a differnt directory where
 the uploads are stored and copy the latest files from this uplodas directory
 to the directory where makenl expects them. Perform this copy just prior to
 running makenl.

 Your only worry is, cleaning this master upload directory.

 I have no need for using makenl, but I have a test environment, where I
 use the above procedure for making a daily Nodelist, a Wednesday Zone list
 and a Friday Nodelist/Nodediff.
