I see I still had problems with that nodelist.ini; New version:
; nodelist.ini for Mystic Pi BBS bcw142.zapto.org
; from omutil.ini (Original mutil.ini)
;
; Purge, pack & merge nodelists
;
[General]

MergeNodeLists = true
logfile=mutil.log
loglevel = 3
maxlogfiles = 3
maxlogsize = 1000

[MergeNodeLists]


; Strip nodes marked as DOWN?
strip_down = true

; Strip nodes marked as PRIVATE?
strip_private = false

nodefile=/mystic/files/fsx_node/fsxnet
nodefile=/mystic/files/rtn_nodelist/retronet

That version now works fully ;) fsx_node/fsxnet is the change I needed to get it fully working with current stuff. When the retronet worked I new the
problem was with my .ini. So nodelists are working again!
