Thanks!  It turned out the central issue was my system rebooted in the middle
of a poll, leaving corrupt stuff in my echomail folders (determined this by
trying to unzip everything and a bunch of things would not unzip) which was
causing Mystic to soil the proverbial bed.  As it crashed, it was leaving those 
.bsy files behind.  I cleaned out my echomail folders and now it seems to be
humming along.  I am describing this here just in case someone else searches on 
the problem in the future.

I will remember the killbusy method in the future; I was using a for loop to
find the files and rm them previously.
