That is an unusual problem. Can I see your ask.log file?

The only reason why you have more than one file for the whitelist is that to
avoid write conflicts. If you write to whitelist.txt directly, extra care is
needed, as someone may happen to confirm while you have the file loaded in
your editor. So, the rule is: Leave whitelist.txt to ASK and, if you need to
manually add addresses, edit whitelist-local.txt.

Again, I need to see the logfile, and, if possible, your .askrc file.

Paga
