I'm seeing a similar problem, however my issue is with a red alert.  In
my case, acks are hit or miss.  Occasionally, it will work, but it often
fails.  The apache logs show that the ack was received, but nothing
shows up in the acklog.  
So far I don't see a pattern.  Any ideas to test this further?

I've been doing more troubleshooting on this, but I still haven't resolved it.

I've created a large test file and filled up the disk partition to 95%, which generates a yellow alert.

Then I used this command to acknowledge the alert:

~/hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdack 158136 10 command line acknowledgment"

Got this entry in my data/acks/acklog file:

1112878495      158136  10      158136  np_filename_not_used radm200p.nandomedia.com.disk    yellow  command line acknowledgment

So that worked.

Then I waited 10 mins, got my next page and tried to acknowledge it via the web, with maint.pl.  Didn't work.

Do the cookies have a lifespan or a one-time use policy?
