problem starting mfs_ftp

I recently upgraded to 6.3c w/ Slicer and Zipper. Only hack
I can't
get back that I had before is the most important one,
mfs_ftp. I tried
following the other forum's thread, by using a virgin 1.29p
install,
then patching it twice with the Jan and Feb 07 patches. Did
all that,
but it won't run. It won't start manually or from my
rc.sysinit.author. I tried starting it manually and get
this:
HDTivo-bash# /var/mfs_ftp/mfs_ftp.tcl &
[1] 5254

HDTivo-bash# child process exited abnormally
while executing
"exec $info(path)/tzoffset.tcl 2>/dev/null"
(procedure "get_tzoffset" line 10)
invoked from within
"get_tzoffset"
(procedure "init_procs" line 7)
invoked from within
"init_procs"
(file "/var/mfs_ftp/mfs_ftp.tcl" line 1556) 


Any ideas?

You need a file called "tzoffset.txt" in your
mfs_ftp directory with the following text:

set info(tzoffset) -#####

Where "#####" represents the number of seconds
offset from UTC that you are.  For example, in the CST
timezone we are six hours behind UTC, or 360 minutes, or
21600 seconds, so I have:

set info(tzoffset) -21600
