That sounds like it could be access related and maybe a chown would help:

sudo chown -R bbsuser:bbsuser /mystic

You would replace "bbsuser" with whatever user/group that is running Mystic BBS.
If you don't know the user you can type "whoami" to see it and "groups" to see a
list of groups you're in.  For example I login as "me" on my computer so it
would be:

sudo chown -R me:me /mystic

You might also want to go into /mystic/data/ and "rm chat*.dat".  Afterwards do
a "ls -la chat*.dat" to make sure there are no chat files left.

... Unzip... expand... What kind of pervert came up with this?
