trouble getting gnats to work properly (or the way I want)

I have gnats 4.0.1 running on a FreeBSD 4.11 (alpha) machine. I've set
up /etc/aliase to queue PR's using 

myqueue: "| /usr/local/libexec/gnats/queue-pr -q -d mydatabase"

which works as expected. The PR is placed in "mydatabase/gnats-queue",
but then the problem starts.  I try to run "queue-pr -r -d mydatabase"
(which I will put in a cron eventually), but everytime I do this the
file in "gnats-queue/file" is moved to "gnats-queue/.file". If do a
file-pr directly ("file-pr -f gnats-queue/file -d mydatabase") the PR
is filed as expected.

Does anybody know why queue-pr -r fails every time?

Thanks!
