Hello Everyone, I managed to figure out how to go round this one. Am not sure what the repercussion for my actions are but this is what I did. I changed the store-type in kannel.conf to spool and then created a directory which I named spool in var/log/kannel. I then restarted bearerbox, sqlbox and smsbox and all seems well so far. Prior to changing the store-type and creating the spool directory I had renamed the existing kannel.spool files and tested bearerbox which created new files so you may want to explore that option as well.
Thank you to all those that took time to help me resolve this problem.
