    Hey Datalus,

    Are you using paths to each of your nodelist.zXX files?
    Here is the important part of my mergenodelist.ini file...

    nodefile=/mystic/files/fsx/fsx_node/FSXNET
    nodefile=/mystic/files/rtn/rtn_nodelist/retronet
    nodefile=/mystic/files/tqw/tqw_node/tqwnet
    nodefile=/mystic/files/fdn/fdn_nodelist/ZONE2
    nodefile=/mystic/files/fdn/fdn_nodelist/NODEDIFF
    nodefile=/mystic/files/fdn/fdn_nodelist/NODELIST
    nodefile=/mystic/files/NODELISZ
    nodefile=/mystic/files/ark/ark_nodelist/araknet

    My paths are formatted like this...

    /mystic/files/NETWORKABBR/NET_ECHO/FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION

    The folders are how I configured them in Mystic, and not based on net names etc.

    The filenames are as they're sent via the hub(s)

    One thing I have made however, is a script to strip erroneous lines from the nodelist which creates some weirdness... my script runs straight after the mergenodelist.ini is processed, and it does this;

    sed '/^[ACD][0-9]*/d' -i data/nodelist.txt


    Hope this helps =)

    [MergeNodeLists]

    ; Finds the latest nodelists and merges them together in the mystic data
    ; folder.
    ;
    ; Set nodefile value one per line. The value should contain the full path
    ; and the base filename of the nodelist.
    ;
    ; examples:
    ; nodefile=c:\nodelist\nodelist
    ; nodefile=c:\nodelist\agoranet
    ;
    ; The above example will search in c:\nodelist and select the latest
    ; nodelist.### and agoranet.### nodelists. This comparison is first done
    ; by checking the day extension. If the extension is archived (.z12, etc)
    ; it will be unarchived before comparison.
    ;
    ; After decompressing, the 3-digit day extensions are compared, selecting
    ; the highest number. It will also compare the years of the file dates,
    ; and select the newest option. So if you have nodelist.025 dated 2013
    ; and also nodelist.320 dated 2012, nodelist.025 will be selected.
    ;
    ; The same process is then be repeated for agoranet.### and once all of
    ; the defined 'nodefiles' are processed, they will be merged together and
    ; copied into Mystic's DATA folder so it can be used for nodelist lookups.
    ;
    ; If no nodelists are found, Mystic will not overwrite the current
    ; nodelist. Comments are stripped while merging to lower filesize and
    ; increase search performance.

    ; Strip nodes marked as DOWN?
    strip_down = true

    ; Strip nodes marked as PRIVATE?
    strip_private = false

    nodefile=c:\filebase.bbs\f_wc\nodelist\nodelist
    nodefile=c:\fsxnet\fsxnet
