Hi Peter,
When/how do you run scour.conf?
Is it set in your crontab?
What does crontab -l return...?
Or run:
ldmadmin scour
as a line command....
I suspect this ~may be the issue. Scour does not run automatically, it
needs to be placed in your cron table or run it via the line command.
Cheers,
Jeff
