[ZendTo] Abandoned files in 'incoming'

[John Thurston]

a'yep, that job is there, and running the 'find' command interactively 
returns appropriate files.

I don't recall how old the files were the last time my disk-full alarm 
went off and I shoveled it out. It is possible that job was just about 
to trigger and I was premature. It is likely that our increased use of 
this tool is simply over-running my small disks.

I have two more questions:

1) I see a reference in the preferences:

   // This is where your drop-offs are stored.
   // It must be on the same filesystem as /var/zendto/incoming, and
   // on preferably on the same filesystem as /var/zendto.
   'dropboxDirectory'     => NSSDROPBOX_DATA_DIR."dropoffs",

Why the "same filesystem" requirement for 'incoming' and 'dropoffs'?

2) The lines above define 'dropoffs'. Where is 'incoming' defined?
