In the example I gave mbse often says the pasdnlst.nnn or .znn are dups when
the .ext's are different. I would suggest that it may well only be comparing
the filename without the .ext taken into consideration.

Only happens with this file areas as these are daily nodelists.

Blasted things are a pest.
