I will make a test to see if I can reproduce a similar issue on my Linux machine here, but the only thing that comes to mind is maybe something access related?

Your script isn't going to run properly if whatever runs it doesn't have access to echo to a log file in the logs directory.  It seems Mystic is trying to run it based on the logs and the OS is returning a 0.  That implies that it does actually run.

 CH> (these are not described in the Mystic Wiki).

There is no section for events written yet but I should probably put that on my TO-DO list.  Instead they are listed in the WHATSNEW.  I searched for "event type" on the Wiki and found this:

 TYPE4: BBS
 ==========

 This event type is not actually executed by MIS itself, and is similar to
 what you might have found in old DOS-based BBS software.  The purpose for
 this event is to provide an option to force users to log off the BBS if
 you want them to.

 Like the scheduled Shell event, a BBS type event can be scheduled at a
 certain hour/min and one or more days of the week.  In addition to the
 time/day scheduling there are some other options:

       Node: This defines the node number for which the event will execute.
             If you keep the node number at 0, it will be applied to all
             users on all nodes.

    Warning: This determins the time before the event to notify the user
             of the upcoming event.  This can be set to 0 to never warn them,
             or (for example) 10 to give them a message that they will be
             required to logoff in 10 minutes.

 When this event time hits, the user will be logged off of the BBS if they
 have not already logged off on their own.
