I had this problem too with the Synchronet version of IBOL.

There was an IBOL post earlier in the week with the "Author" field missing, and had "-e Auther" in its place. I'm GUESSING that's the same problem you've run into.

If you find the offending message in your FSX_DAT echo and delete it, the script should work again. But really, the IBOL scripts should handle that kind of situation better (I'm testing a fix for the Sync version here).
