Thanks for the reply Avon!

I don't believe this to be the case.  I checked and the same filename already
exists in the file area listed in the .tic file.  Again; it appears as
though nodelist files can come in with the same filenames yet can be different
files.  I used an example in the original message where the existing filename
was NODELIST.Z24 (a nodelist for day 124) and a new (different) file named
NODELIST.Z24 which is for day 224.  It appears that Mystic is seeing this as
the same file even though the content is different.

I checked my settings and they were set as you suggested.  It would be great
if there were a way to force replacement of files with the same name or turn
off dupe scanning by file area.

Im now at a loss as to how to handle the nodelists that come in as dupes.
