"Store Size" reflects the number of messages on the filesystem store. A value of 0 is expected if no messages are currently on the store. -1 suggests me that something's probably wrong somewhere, because it means that the Dict (if store is "file") or Counter (if it's "spool") variable that holds the messages (or the number of) is not defined. This is definitely not "normal", should be >= 0.
Your log file may be showing something for what matters. Try enqueueing a new message and see what shows in there. Regarding memory problems, try emptying the sim messages and see if that solves the problem, maybe you're not deleting the messages from the SIM after sending? You can shutdown kannel fromt the web interface with the "shutdown" command. Look for the details on the userguide.
