	The lines of transport definitions have general syntax of:

	"r     " channel  host  hostparameter priviledge

	Now you changed "channel" from the default of "local" to "filepipe",
	and got surprised when the mailbox didn't find job speficications ?
	(Because it was looking for "local" channel entries..)

	Had you specified scheduler entry properly for the filepipe, it
	would be something like:

	filepipe/*
		...
		command="mailbox -c filepipe ..."

	That is, it requires explicite channel parameter.
