 PQ> Have you tried quote marks (") where required?

my logic sense says /bin/sh does not need it, since there is no space in that 
command ?

if /bin/sh is called and executed the next args would be out of binkd hands to 
handle, no ?

i have aswell tryed example config variant, but it fails, funny things is that 
its logged as working, but not anyway since still unprosseded files in my 
inbound
