It sounds like the sort of situation I have run into when the other machine
(the 3B2, in this case) did not allow my machine to pick up files during a
transaction, only send them.  Check the Permissions file on the 3B2 and make
sure that the entry that applies to your machine includes the strings

		REQUEST=yes SENDFILES=yes
	
in order to allow your machine to collect the mail files from the 3B2.
