Hi Clint,

Indeed there were some changes in how directories are being handled. 
I've not seen what you report.

As a quick test, I ran:

   [relson at osage src]$ echo test | bogofilter -d ~/.xxx -s
   [relson at osage src]$ ls -l ~/.xxx
   total 8
   -rw-r--r--  1 relson relson 8192 May 27 20:06 wordlist.db
   [relson at osage src]$ bogoutil -d ~/.xxx/wordlist.db 
   .MSG_COUNT 1 0 20040527
   head:test 1 0 20040527

All the output looks correct.

I need to know what command is being executed.  What are the options? 
Is a config file being used?  What are its non-comment lines.

Regards,

David
