If you have to do that, create the files in a temporary directory on the same 
drive as the filebox. And when the files are ready, do a rename to the filebox 
dir. Rename is an atomic operation on most os's afaik. So binkd won't see any 
"half" written files.

The best way, of course, is to use the normal outbound directory in the propper 
way for this, and not use a filebox. ;)
