I don't (and I have a thick skin). You may have misconstrued my
comments about the "black hole" as inferring a lack of answers from
the list. On the contrary, I've found people here are quite helpful
and I am very appreciative. I was referring to the fact that I have
actually sent close to a dozen copies of this e-mail to the list, but
it never showed up on the list and I received no bounced email either.
I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, something decided my email
was spam and ate it ;-)

I had missed that. The only archive of the list that I was aware of
until today was yahoo and I find that excruciating to search with.
However I saw a post today that pointed me to gmane, searching there
is better I believe.

I did have the holding disk configured and got the same error, I also
got the error during subsequent amflush operations.

I will, thanks for the pointers.
