	I think linolil's real question is, "What do the messages 'Tidying 
Spool Directories' and 'Tidying home directories' really mean, and do I 
need to worry about them?".  I've included the relevant sections of the 
output below.

	I think I can answer at least part of the question.  I'm guessing 
that, since cfengine has special intelligence recognising home 
directories, it deals with them separately, and so the part that says 
"Tidying home directories" really means "...if any 'home' tidy actions 
exist", ie. there may be no action corresponding to the message.  The 
Spool one I can't answer.

        Can someone confirm the guess, or answer the spool question?

        Thanks,
