bases. Change the 'P' to the internal code of the sub-board you created in 
SCFG->Message Areas and that creates the mapping of the echo to the sub-board.

I was able to resolve this issue after a while by exporting the echos to an 
area.bbs file and adding the first node I wish to send mail towards for all 
these areas and they seem to be connected now.
