I sent you a PM with output.

We do want unique names, but in practice this never really worked 
right. All of the lists do need to maintain their own unique domain 
name space including access to the list, so we need to sort this out.

We started with the patches from the original contributor and 
version 2.1.5. I think we went to 2.1.9, 2.1.14, and now the latest. 
It's possible that along the way issues were introduced, but this 
has more or less worked properly.

I am confused as well. To restate the question is it possible I just 
need to create the hostname directories and reorganize everything?
