MailScanner not moving messages between queues

[Peter Nixon]

Hi Guys

I am a fairly new MailScanner user. I have just upgraded a Cobalt Qube3 that
was running an ancient version of MailScanner to the current stable release
with kavscanner, however mails that come into /var/spool/mqueue.in never get
moved to /var/spool/mqueue by mailscanner. I am manually doing:
mv /var/spool/mqueue.in/* /var/spool/mqueue
 just to keep mail flowing..

Does anyone have any ideas about this problem? The mail logs are below, as you
can see the number of messages just keeps growing..
