Another update, this time it also allows messages in message bases to be saved 
by kermit too;

#!/usr/bin/env bash
FILELIST="$1"
FILES=$(cat $FILELIST|tr '\n' ' ')
if [[ "$(basename $FILELIST)" == "file.lst" ]]; then
        for FILE in $FILES; do
                echo "Sending file: $FILE"
                /usr/bin/gkermit -d /tmp/kermit-send.log -Xis $FILE
        done
else
        echo "Sending file: $FILELIST"
        /usr/bin/gkermit -d /tmp/kermit-send.log -XTs $FILELIST
fi
rm $FILELIST

Still haven't tested uploads yet, but that is next =)

... My reality check just bounced
