But I may be looking when there is no filter activity. I'm going to change the archive to tar.gz and see what happens. The filter has ...

I have the purgewhenfull filer set to upload events to my ftp server...everything appears to work and but the zip files on the ftp server are empty. Nothing stands out in the logs. I confirmed and reinstalled zip perl module. Any ideas?
