Then that is fine.

BINKIT doesn't process files (bundles or packets) itself. It tries to trigger
your "FIDOIN" timed event by touching the appropriate semaphore file which in
turn should run your SBBSecho import command-line as configured in SCFG.

Do you have a FIDOIN event configured in SCFG->External Programs->Timed Events,
as documented here: http://wiki.synchro.net/util:sbbsecho
