It seems like you did all the right things. I'm sorry I doubted you,
but perhaps this thread will prove useful to others.

Lets hope by the time you get this, things are back to normal.

As another side note, it is a good idea to run some kind of daily
report via cron to detect problems like this before they go to far. At
a minimum, a cron that just does 'ls -lr /path/to/qfiles' will let you
know if any queues are backing up. For a more elaborate report, see
Brad Knowles' mmdsr script at
