Inaccurate Queue Amount?

I started noticing in the past few days that the number of messages in the
incoming queue is not correct for some reason. My logs show this:
Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: New Batch: Found 14 messages
waiting
Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages,
1252 bytes
Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: Spam Checks: Starting
Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: Virus and Content Scanning:

Oct 15 22:43:08 avwall2 MailScanner[2760]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages
But there aren't 14 messages in the queue:
[root at avwall2 /etc/MailScanner] #ls -al /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/
total 4
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 240 Oct 15 22:44 .

If I stop MailScanner, the /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming directory becomes
empty. Start the service again, and I have 14 messages waiting again. I
even tried a reboot...same result. Am I missing something somewhere?
I've also started getting a few messages in my Inbox that have:
<<< No Message Collected >>>
in the body...nothing else. Related?
