So I don't use HPT but have this setup which works with Mystic:

[ begin nodelist.sh ]
#!/bin/bash
tmpdir=`mktemp -d`
cd $tmpdir
rm -f /home/jay/mystic/micronet.???
wget -q https://www.minftn.net/micronet.zip
unzip micronet.zip -x file_id.diz -d /home/jay/mystic
cd /home/jay/mystic
../mutil -NOSCREEN nodelist.ini
rm -f $tmpdir/*
rmdir $tmpdir
[ end nodelist.sh ]

I run this every Friday evening.  It grabs the latest .zip from minftn.net as I'm not subscribed to the file echos at the moment.  Before I would just unzip the micronet.zip file I got from MIN_LIST to my mystic directory which as the same result.  You could do something similar before running nlupd.
