The example I supplied was for sbbsctrl/Windows and I was just clicking the
"recycle" button, so I would expect it to appear somewhat different.

Are any of the nodes in use at that time? Perhaps run "/sbbs/exec/node list" to
be sure that all the nodes are in a recycleable state.

Well they shouldn't be exactly the same (in regards to log output, node
status).

That's unexpected. Is it possible you have the NO_RECYCLE option flag set for
one or more sections of your ctrl/sbbs.ini file?
