Post the line you have in your [nodes] section for this node that failed.

The spaces you use between the fields are important in some spots, I've found.

Here's one that always works correctly (Kim and I tested it to get the exact 
spacing):

2:222/2      passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  XFG C   2

Compare this exact line to the one you have for that node that failed.

so in a copy of external.bbb (you don't want to save this) check the spacing 
between the fields:

2:250/1      passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  XFG C   2
2:222/2      passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  passwrd  XFG C   2

See if they match up with this example for 2:222/2.


Maybe that's the problem if you've checked that the passwords match?

Take care,
Janis
