Hi Vernon

Before I sent my response, I actually did set up a full test of a dir as
described using version 4.3.12 client and 4.3.17 server and can verify that it
does work, so if it is not a Xymon version issue, it may just be a perms issue
on the remote host..

Obvious, I know, but check the paths all the way down to the directory. Make
sure that Xymon can get there. just a thought.
