Much as I hate to admit it, I don't really have a clue what may be
awry. If it worked OK initially the natural assumption is that
something changed in the interim, permissions perhaps? If SA is
reading rules ok from the main directory I don't see why it should
ignore the 3.00* dir unless it doesn't know about it or can't access
it.

Hopefully one of the more knowledgeable list members can offer some
insight.

Kind regards

Nigel
