You don't use -c on the 3rd command, so it will default to htdig.conf. What database does that select? That's the one that the "blue" db will be merged into. > 4.

You don't mention which version of htdig you're using. Whether it's 3.1.x or 3.2.0bx, you should be running the latest snapshot from http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/. 3.1.5 and earlier have some bugs in the merging code, that can cause a number of problems. Also, for 3.1.x (even the latest 3.1.6 snapshot), you must run htmerge on the individual databases before merging them together, as Jim Cole suggested. -- Gilles R.
