Not that I can think of.

That's normal. The recycle semaphore file is a "timestamp semaphore file" where
only the timestamp is checked of the existing file and the file is not deleted:
http://wiki.synchro.net/config:semfiles#times...

If the file is touched/updated and the BBS doesn't recycle, it could be a
number of things, but the log output should reflect the detection of the
semaphore file unless the "NO_RECYCLE" option flag is set in the [BBS] section
of your ctrl/sbbs.ini file.
