Will do. This will be tomorrow night (my time) as I'm just heading to bed now
but sure thing :) I'll send you the .msg files and the other index file soup
creates.

Yep. I think it's correct to remove AREAS but ideally after it's used it to
figure out which .msg files import to which area

These look to be working files created in the same directory I ran soupgate
import from. There is a variable in the config for a temp directory 

TempDir

But I suspect it was ignoring that at the time of import?

Make sure you export something from a tosser with a .bso file like a .clo
that accompanies the PKT then running 'soupgate export' should work. Don't
use .hlo files

I too have had no joy with linux /pkt= switch, but it works fine for the
windows version from the website. perhaps it's a pathing thing in the code or
a case thing?
